B. Launch of a protective tariff on British imports
C. British impressment of American sailors
D. Decisions of the US Supreme Court

Answer 1

Both Jay's Treaty and the Embargo Act dealt with conflict involving British impressment of American sailors.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jay's Treaty and the Embargo Act were both similar in that they both dealt with conflict involving the British impressment of American sailors.

Jay's Treaty, ratified in 1795, did not address the issue of impressment directly but focused on other aspects, such as trade and debts between the United States and Great Britain.

The Embargo Act of 1807, on the other hand, was a response to British impressment and aimed to halt American trade until Britain and France stopped seizing American ships. However, the act had little impact on the British and French and instead caused economic hardship for American merchants.
