Congress interacts with the economy through Fiscal Policy which allows them to tax citizens to fund necessary programs. However, taxes can have another purpose which is to shape the behavior of US Citizens. What is known as a sin tax allows Congress to tax products that are deemed harmful like cigarettes and alcohol.

they strongly believed that the federalists were representing the interests of aristocratic elements of society at the expense of the majority of ordinary people, who lived in a rural society.
