Answer 2

B. The government should raise money through tariffs and use that money to improve national transportation systems.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Whigs was a party that was initially formed to improve the living conditions of farmers in United States.

In the past, one major issues that the farmers experienced was the high tariff that imposed by the private railroad companies. The high tariff made it almost impossible for the farmers to distribute their crops to other cities/states while still maintaining a healthy level of profit.

Because of this, the Whigs supported policies that enable the government to create more regulations within the national transportation system.
