Why is mercantilism bad for colonies?

Mercantilism is detrimental to colonies because it prioritizes the economic interests of the mother country over the well-being of the colonies themselves. This system restricts colonial trade to only benefit the parent nation, limiting the colonies' ability to engage in profitable commerce with other countries. Additionally, it often leads to exploitation of colonial resources and labor, stifling local economic development and perpetuating dependency on the mother country. As a result, colonies are unable to grow economically and politically independent.
