Britain was in debt because of the colonies' war. It had to station troops in the frontier to keep the natives from attacking the colonies after Pontiac's rebellion. Mecantilist laws were the easiest way to pay for colonial necessities.

Britain enforced mercantilist laws after the French and Indian War to maintain control over its colonies and maximize economic benefits. The war left Britain in debt and they believed strict trade regulations would help generate revenue and ensure colonies were serving British interests. By restricting colonial trade, Britain aimed to prevent competition and secure resources for its own economic growth.
