the \american system,\ proposed by henry clay, included:
a national bank, internal improvements, and protective tariffs
the abolition of slavery and the establishment of public schools
the expansion of the railroads and the purchase of new territories
the immediate end of the war of 1812 and the restoration of trade with europe

Explanation:

Henry Clay's American System was an economic plan. A national bank would stabilize currency and credit. Internal improvements (like roads, canals) would boost infrastructure. Protective tariffs would shield American industries from foreign competition. The other options don't match the components of the American System. Abolition of slavery and public schools (not main parts), railroad expansion (later in 19th - 20th century more prominent in a different context), War of 1812 ended before the full - fledged American System push (though the need for economic self - sufficiency after the war was a backdrop).

Answer:

A. A national bank, internal improvements, and protective tariffs
