Social Science — AI-generated practice question

According to Friedrich List, the aim of the zollverein was to bind the German states together economically and foster national feeling. It abolished tariff barriers, reduced the number of currencies, and promoted the unhindered movement of goods, people, and capital, thereby using economic unity as a means to achieve political and national unification.

• The key quote from the source is: "a free economic system is the only means to engender national feeling." — try to paraphrase or quote this directly.
• Examiners look for two points: (1) the economic aim — removing tariff barriers, common currency; (2) the political/national aim — using economic unity to promote nationalism/unification.
• Do not write a long paragraph; two tight sentences covering both dimensions are enough for 2 marks.
