The answer to the question is C
Answer:
B. Puerto Ricans pay u.s. taxes.
Explanation:
All of the statements are entirely true except B. While Puerto Ricans must pay some federal taxes they are not required to pay any income taxes like listed on the chart. Puerto Ricans are considered US citizens, so they can serve in the military. However, since Puerto Rico is not a state it has no electoral colleges and therefore they cannot vote in the presidential election.
A tariff is a tax on goods imported into a country. It was thought that high tariffs would force people in the home country to buy items made in that nation, instead of buying items made in other countries and then imported. Before the Great Depression, the United States had an incredibly protectionist trading system, particularly when the Republicans had power in congress. Two senators, Smoot and Hawley, created a bill and eventually it was passed to create the Smoot-Hawley tariff, the largest tariff in the history of the United States.
Once this happened, other countries increased their tariff barriers in retaliation, which resulted in a sharp decline in global trade, which heightened the effects of the Great Depression once the stock market crashed.
Arguing about whether tariffs are "good" or "bad" is a little simplistic but high tariffs are definitely a bad thing and stifle international trade.
It was "John Jay" who negotiated a trade treaty between the United States and Great Britain in 1794, since it was clear that it would be mutually beneficial for these nations to continue trading with one another.
