Detailed explanation-1: -This “System” consisted of three mutually reinforcing parts: a tariff to protect and promote American industry; a national bank to foster commerce; and federal subsidies for roads, canals, and other “internal improvements” to develop profitable markets for agriculture.
Detailed explanation-2: -Transportation developments affected the nation’s economy in that it allowed businesses to continue to expand and provided means for goods to be shipped faster and more easily. Beyond that, markets expanded because there was more access to different regions with faster transportation.
