To protect domestic businesses.

The system of raising tariffs against foreign imports is a classic economic tool adopted by the governments of several countries to protect their domestic industries from closing down.High tariffs against foreign goods discourage citizens from buying them, and that increases the sale of domestically produced American goods, thus increasing profits and production, leading to increasing exports. Increasing tariffs against foreign imports might also have an objective of promoting the locally developed variety of the product that is imported, although there are significant variations in quality between the two.  

Further Explanation-  

Tariffs are usually taxes imposed on the purchase of a product that has been imported from a foreign country. Tariffs are normally imposed on luxury consumer items, and not on necessities. The tariff imposed on these commodities increase their prices, discouraging their number of sales, and leaving the public with an option to purchase cheaper, American made goods. Tariffs are also counted as diplomatic gestures, for example, within an economic confederation of several countries, such as the Commonwealth nations or the European Union, in which member nations have very nominal tariffs or no tariffs on imports of other member nations. Significantly, they impose high tariffs on products imported from non-member states. This is also a diplomatic gesture in the way of initiating hostilities, for example, one country can impose high tariffs against the imported products of the country that has engaged in hostility with it. Tariffs are also used as a protection against foreign companies offering competition to domestic products, to establish new domestic industries and ensure the growth of the economy.

The correct answer is to protect domestic businesses.


When the US government puts a tax on an imported good (aka a tariff) they are trying to protect American businesses. The US government, when it passes tariffs, believe that the increased price of foreign goods with result in citizens buying goods from American made companies, as they will be similar in price or cheaper. This strategy has been used by the United States since the early 1800's and continues to be used as a means of protecting American businesses.

However, the succeess of these types of tariffs are mixed, as this usually results in a decrease in trade and an overall increase in price for consumer goods.

“Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely” assess the extent to which this idea affected the creation of the US go
Paraphin [41]
The Founding Fathers created the U.S. government to have numerous checks and balances as well as a VERY limited central (federal) government. They did this to prevent a relapse of the tyranny (hence “absolute power”) they dealt with under the British Empire. The American colonies were essentially meant to serve the mother nation (Britain), but the colonists braved the journey to America to establish a new, freer nation with religious freedom as its top priority.
To prove this quote is still relevant today, it’s not unknown that when humans acquire power, it’s very easy for them to abuse that power. Examples of this would be the oligarchies we see in Russia and China with a very small amount of people in power living in a lap of luxury while everyone else lives a subpar life.

When comparing presidents of the 1800s to those of the 1900s and 2000s, moderm presidents are more involved in?
irakobra [83]

Modern U.S. presidents are fully aware of the importance of the economy. More than ever, the pulse of the nation’s economy is of the utmost importance for the White House.  


In a global scenario, the role of economics through trade has been increasingly important. The president of the U.S. dedicates a considerable part of his time to oversee the Department of Commerce, the Department of Treasure and is very aware of the declarations of Federal Reserve and the bankers, to avoid a crisis like the one that happened in 2008

In 1787, the constitution was drafted with a preamble to explicitly state that the origins of power in this new democracy reside
MAXImum [283]
In my opinion, yes, there are still groups who are disenfranchised and not considered as an equal source of power in our democracy. An example of these people is those in the lower class of the society. In today's setting, only the 'representatives' have power and those whom they represent do not. <span />
