How did the british enforce mercantilism in the colonies?

The British enforced mercantilism in the American colonies through a series of laws and regulations, most notably the Navigation Acts, which mandated that colonial trade be conducted primarily with England and its colonies. These acts restricted the export of certain goods, requiring them to be shipped on British or colonial ships, thereby ensuring that profits from colonial resources benefitted Britain. Additionally, the British government implemented tariffs and duties on imports and exports to control colonial commerce and maintain a favorable balance of trade. This enforcement was often met with resistance from colonists, leading to tensions that contributed to the American Revolution.

The European countries at the time wanted to become wealthier in order to have more power. They wanted to export more and import less. A nation does not have all the resources so many nations set out to find new lands. Many nations created colonies such as England. They began to enforce laws so that the colonies sent the country the raw material, they would manufacture then sell it. This would increase a nation's power.
