Why did Congress pass the Tariffs of 1816, which raised the price of British made goods?

a.
The government wanted to encourage people to buy American-made products to help American businesses grow.
b.
The government wanted to weaken the British economy and put British manufacturers and shop owners out of business.
c.
Because Congress was anti-slavery, and this move was an attempt to hurt the Southern economy.
d.
Because Congress was reacting to tariffs passed in England which raised prices on American imports.

B is not correct.

A is correct. Tariffs on imports are adopted so that local goods are less expensive than foreign goods.
