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.

Why were portugal and spain particularly well placed for overseas exploration

marshall27 [118]

<span>Portugal was at the vanguard of the Age of Exploration because they were the first to systematically pursue this field. The decline of the Venetian City state as a world power, the Spanish War to unite Spain into one nation and purge the Moors from Spain, and the political instability of the Italian city states left Portugal as the one true sea-faring nation to explore the world. In addition, Portugal made a no-aggression treaty with Castile—its traditional enemy—which allowed that it to pursue other interests. Portugal was vested in expanding Christian ideals in a crusader culture that spearheaded the expulsion of the North African Muslims from parts of Portugal. Swept up in the romantic ideals that Christianity had to expand, Portugal’s knightly orders were most influential in making exploration viable. Prince Henry the navigator, arguably one of the most powerful figures in the Age of Exploration established an innovative school to study the oceans. He also encouraged exploration across the seas. Portugal was the first nation to produce some of the most accurate maps of the world in the fifteenth century. In addition to cartography, Portuguese inventors made innovations in navigational instruments.</span>
