What were the principles behind the policy of mercantillism?

The British used Mercantilism in relation to their North American Colonies. The principle is that the mother country, in this case Britain, would take in raw materials and resources for a low cost, if any, to produce finished goods to sell and make a profit off of. This wasn't an ideal situation for the new colonies and is part of the reason for the revolution.
