Nationalism

 Means: Individual freedom, Equality before law, Government by
consent, Freedom of markets, Abolition of state-imposed restrictions

which posed problems for the free movement of goods.

There were no standard weights and measures and no fixed rates of custom
duties, which greatly affected the trade
