In the context of Zollverein, which political idea was indirectly strengthened by removing customs barriers?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The idea of national unity
Zollverein was a customs union that removed many internal trade barriers among German states. Its immediate purpose was economic, but regular trade and shared commercial interests connected people across political boundaries. This practical cooperation helped many Germans imagine a wider common community and therefore indirectly strengthened national unity. Option A is correct; the other choices represent dynastic privilege or division, not integration.
