Question

thomas jefferson, always hesitant with the president. reticent-there isn’t a plan he doesn’t jettison. madison, you’re mad as a hatter, son, take your medicine. ****, you’re in worse shape than the national debt is in. multiple-choice question according to hamilton, why do the southern states have less debt than the northern states? laws restrict southerners from paying taxes whiskey tax paid off the debt of southern states good crop harvest does not pay for labor rewatch

Explanation:

Alexander Hamilton argued that Southern states had less debt because they relied on enslaved labor, meaning they did not have to pay for labor costs that drained Northern state resources and contributed to higher debt. The other options are incorrect: there were no laws restricting Southerners from paying taxes, the Whiskey Tax targeted Western farmers (not Southern states to pay their debt), and good harvests did not explain the consistent debt gap.

Answer:

does not pay for labor
