Answer: I put this and i got it right

Explanation:

Tariff policies of the Republic of Texas varied from an approximation of free trade to the imposition of high duties for revenue purposes. In general, East Texas wanted low tariffs or none at all, West Texas and President Sam Houston advocated high customs for revenue, and president Mirabeau B. Lamar favored abolition of all tariffs. An ordinance of the Consultation on November 13, 1835, granted power to the General Council to impose impost and tonnage duties and provide for their collection. Between 1835 and 1842, seven tariff bills were passed and signed into law and several were passed by Congress but vetoed by Houston. On December 8, 1835, the General Council formed six revenue districts and fixed duties of 20 percent ad valorem on goods entitled to debenture or certificate of drawback in the ports from which they were exported and 10 percent on all other goods except household goods, guns, and ammunition, which were to be admitted free.
