Explanation:

First Question: Why did the North favor tariffs?

The North had a growing manufacturing sector. Tariffs (taxes on imported goods) made foreign goods more expensive, so people were more likely to buy domestically produced goods from Northern factories. This protected Northern industries from foreign competition and helped them grow, as well as boosting the Northern economy through increased domestic sales.

South Carolina's economy was based on agriculture (especially cotton) and relied on importing goods and exporting cotton. The national tariff made imported goods more expensive, raising costs for Southerners. Also, it made it harder for foreign countries to buy Southern cotton (as other nations might retaliate with their own tariffs), hurting Southern exports. South Carolina, led by John C. Calhoun, believed the tariff was unconstitutional and favored the North at the South's expense, so they tried to nullify it (declare it void within the state).

1. Political Power and Elitism: Jackson saw the National Bank as an institution controlled by wealthy Eastern elites and bankers. He believed it gave too much power to a small group of wealthy people who did not represent the common people (his base of support was among common farmers, workers, etc.).
2. Constitutional and State's Rights Concerns: Jackson questioned the constitutionality of the National Bank. He also believed in states' rights and thought the bank's power over state banks and the national economy was too great, and that it interfered with the rights of states to regulate their own financial systems. Additionally, he felt the bank favored the interests of the wealthy and big business over ordinary citizens.

Answer:

The North favored tariffs because the region had a developing manufacturing industry, and tariffs protected Northern manufacturers from foreign competition by making imported goods more expensive, thus increasing demand for domestically - produced Northern goods and boosting the Northern economy.
