Question

are there any answers to choose from

anonymous · Answer

my brother had this question and if u have the same answer choices which is:

monopolies 
patents 
protective tariffs 
laissez-faire

then it is protective tariffs, because they would be like a tax added onto the price of imported goods, making them more expensive for the average citizen who would then choose to buy the cheaper American goods. This increase in the amount of American goods being purchased would increase domestic economic growth.
