How did the colonies benefit under mercantilism?

No. Sure, the Colonists might have been protected by Britain from France or Spain, but that was solely because of the dependence the Colonies had with Britain. If there was no connection with Britain, the Colonies might have had no enemies, since France and Spain were the enemy of BRITAIN not the colonists. This was proven when the French and the Colonist both unified to defeat the British in the R.W. And after the taxes actually started to get enforced, the colonists really had no control over any lawful action. Parliament enforced unjust and biased laws on the Colonies, the King's way of rule was looked down upon in America and Mercantilism really served no purpose at this point in time. You could look at it like this. Just because a certain establishment founded a nation long ago does not mean that establishment could abuse it's power on that nation for founding it, ... long ago. NOT ONLY THAT, but the distance and the difference in size between the two land masses only increased the difference margin for the colonists. How can such a small island like Great Britain, rule over the much bigger and farther landmass like America. It just doesn't work. Earlier when the colonies first started out it might have been necessary but it served no purpose later on.
