b is actually correct, despite my doubt.

To understand the flaw in the act passed by Congress that established a tax on whiskey, we need to examine each option and deduce which one is correct.
a. It rewarded farmers who grew corn: This option is not related to the flaw in the tax on whiskey. It seems to be unrelated to the topic and doesn't provide an explanation of the flaw.
b. It did not spread the tax burden evenly: This option suggests that the tax burden was not distributed fairly among the various segments of the population. This is the most plausible answer because it points to a flaw in the tax legislation, where some people may have been disproportionately burdened by the tax while others escaped its impact. Therefore, it is the correct answer.
c. It was similar to taxes Britain had proposed: While the similarity to British taxes might have been a concern, it does not directly address the flaw in the act itself.
d. It had to be collected in person by tax collectors: While this may have been an operational challenge, it does not directly address a flaw in the legislation itself.
Therefore, the correct answer is b. It did not spread the tax burden evenly.
