Question

which ideas describe the beliefs of whigs? group a group b group a favored higher protective tariffs supported a national banking system wanted federal funds for internal improvement group b feared a mixed economy were proponents of slavery supported western expansion

Explanation:

The Whigs favored higher protective tariffs to protect domestic industries, supported a national banking system for economic stability, and wanted federal funds for internal improvements like roads and canals to boost economic growth. Group B's ideas do not align with Whig beliefs. Fear of a mixed economy was not a Whig stance; they were more about active government - led economic development. While some Whigs had complex views on slavery, being pro - slavery was not a core Whig belief, and their focus was more on economic and national - building policies rather than just western expansion in the context of the described beliefs.

Answer:

Group A
