After the War of 1812, what did James Madison advocate to make American manufactured products cheaper and more competitive in both domestic and foreign markets?
A. the Embargo Act
B. a protective tariff
C. a blockade against the British
D. a foreign trade agreement with Britain and France
James Madison advocated a protective tariff to make American manufactured products cheaper and more competitive in both domestic and foreign markets. This made all of the foreign imports more expensive and made the American products look better. The correct answer is is B.
The answer is a protective tariff. One of President James Madison proposals included a protective tariff which would make American manufactured products cheaper and, because of that, more competitive in both domestic and international markets. (This came from my history book. Also, I had this question on a quiz and I got it right.)
