Question

Why did Hamilton favor tariffs

Answer 1

*ok I'm Australian I'm just basing what I know of this from what I've read and heard from the musical* ok so basically Hamilton was in control of the capital and to raise it he needed tariffs (tax) from certain people, therefore tariff would help him get ahead of Jefferson and Madison who had control of the banks (I think) 

Answer 2

I think it was because it helped get more money to use
