Answer:

It would discourage trade

Explanation:

An infant industry can be defined as a manufacturing industry that is still in the early stage of its growth and development.

Simply stated, an infant industry is an industry that has just been newly established. Thus, infant industries do not have the wherewithal to compete with older industries (established competitors) because they are generally lacking in experience and size.

A tariff can be defined as tax levied by the government of a country on goods and services imported from another country.

According to the infant industry argument, economists agree that developing countries are allowed to place tariffs on import so as to develop their infant industries, diversify their economy and boost their comparative advantage.

Hence, a tariff protects infant industry because it would discourage trade by eliminating the import of goods and services from other countries.

Why would John Adams and the Federalists want to delay the amount of time it took for immigrants to become citizens under the Na

vivado [14]

Answer: To keep power and prevent support for the French

Explanation:

When the Naturalization Act was passed in 1798, the United States stood on the brink of war with France. The Federalist party believed that many immigrants would side with France if war had broken out so they tried to limit the number of immigrants that could become citizens so that they do not negatively influence any war effort.

They also wanted to keep power away from the Democratic-Republican party under Jefferson who had massive support amongst immigrants. They feared that if more immigrants became citizens, they would vote the Federalists out of power.

How were royal colonies different from corporate colonies?

yulyashka [42]

The corporate colony had a charter that was granted to them by the English Monarch to stockholders. But in 1624, the Monarch changed certain colonies to royal colonies. This meant the the colonies that were changed would be under the direct control of the king. In the end the colonies that remained corporate colonies were Rhode Island and Connecticut. Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland remained proprietary colonies. The other 8 colonies (New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Massachusetts, and Virginia) were changed to royal colonies.
