The Navigation Acts enforced mercantilist policies. These brought Britain forth as the world's most dominate trader. They used policies to expand their own merchants ability to dominate the markets.

Mercantilism is a very protectionist form of economic policy. This means that a government using a mercantilist policy will aim at a positive trade balance: selling more to other countries then they sell to you. Resulting in making more money on your own sales than paying for other countries' products. A mercantilist govenment will often use (covert) export subsidies to make its country's products more attractive, keeping the cost of products down by low wages and keeping the value of its currency low. An example: China is today often accused of mercantilist policies to boost its trade balance.
This usually refers to a significant change of perception and/or change in mindset/attitude/vision, such as to significantly change the course of ones' life or organization. Some have referred to second chances in life as an example of change of paradigmatic thinking.
A non-example of mercantilism would be a free trade agreement between countries that allows for the unrestricted exchange of goods and services without heavy government intervention or tariffs. In this scenario, the focus is on mutual economic benefit and competition rather than accumulating wealth through state-controlled trade surpluses and limiting imports. Additionally, an economy that prioritizes domestic consumption and allows for the free movement of labor and capital would also contrast with mercantilist principles.
Mercantilism is an economic theory that emphasizes the role of the state in managing the economy to increase national wealth, primarily through a favorable balance of trade. A classic example is the trade policies of 17th-century England, where the government sought to maximize exports while minimizing imports, often through tariffs and colonial expansion. This approach aimed to accumulate precious metals and strengthen national power, illustrated by the Navigation Acts that restricted colonial trade to benefit England.

"Physiocrat" was a term used in France during the French Revolution to describe the economic reformers who encouraged the government to simplify the tax system and remove the mercantilist constraints from the economy. An example of a mercantilist constraint is control on the price of grain which had been imposed to keep the cost of bread low. The physiocrats claimed that this interfered with the natural workings of the market. From that example, you get the idea that a physiocrat is an economic reformer who aims for a freer economy, like the French revolutionary aiming for more liberty and justice.

An aftermarket navigation system simply refers to a navigation system that was not originally a part of the original car or place of installation. For example, if you do not like the CD player that came with your car and you decide to get a new one and have it installed. You have just purchased an "aftermarket" CD player. The same applies for a navigation device.
