Question

George Washington's government solved some of their economic problems by _____________.

imposing income taxes

imposing tariffs

taxing paper goods

imposing a tea tax

putting up toll roads

Answer 1

Paper and tea are the taxes that lead to the Revolution so no go.
Income wasn't taxed until about a hundred years ago, so to late for Washington.
The national government didn't get into the road building business until 1820ish, again, to late for GW.
That leaves tariffs. That's good because that's the answer.
