Which of the following were effects of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff? Select all that apply.

The Smoot-Hawley Tariff raised taxes on imported goods, rather than reducing them, so A is incorrect. In response, foreign governments imposed barriers or refused to buy some American exports, and the resulting decline in trade worsened the Depression. With fewer customers and less business, more companies failed, making B and C correct.
