Best Answer

The Whig party wanted to charter a third national bank to handle the governments finances. They wanted a protective tariff to help new American manufacturers compete with the established British manufacturers. They wanted federally sponsored internal improvements such as turnpikes, canals and railroads to help farmers move their crops faster and cheaper. Finally, they wanted to distribute the surplus revenue back to the states for internal improvements.
