Mercantilism gave the colonies a reliable market for some of their raw materials and an eager supplier of the manufactured goods they needed. However, it prevented them from selling goods to other nations, even if they could get a better price. Also, if a colony produced nothing the home country needed, the colony could not acquire gold or silver to buy manufactured goods.
The mercantilist system was when the English (and other countries) were expanding and looking for more income or revenue, and founding colonies was a very key way to do that.
(this might be incorrect, but I'll try...) they promoted the Navigation Acts by appointing leaders to the colonies that were most 'resisting of the English authority' to keep them in line i hope i answered your question for you!

The Navigation Acts were a series of laws passed by England to regulate colonial trade and promote a mercantilist economic policy. These acts required that all goods transported to and from the colonies be carried on English ships and sold through English ports, thereby enriching England and increasing its power. The Navigation Acts were a key component of England's mercantilist system, which aimed to ensure a favorable balance of trade and maximize the wealth of the nation.

The Navigation Acts, first enacted in the mid-17th century, particularly with the Navigation Act of 1651, established that the colonies existed primarily to benefit England economically. These laws mandated that colonial trade be conducted on English ships and that certain goods produced in the colonies, such as tobacco and sugar, be exported only to England or English territories. By enforcing these restrictions, the Navigation Acts reinforced the notion that the colonies were to serve as a source of raw materials and a market for English goods, solidifying their role in the mercantilist framework of the British Empire.
The thirteen colonies were English colonies and, thus, spoke English.
Jamestown, Roanoke, and Plymouth were some of the first English colonies.
Due to government inefficiency, the restrictions of English mercantilism on the colonial economies was ineffective. The English government had passed several mercantile laws known as the Navigation Acts. Only English ships could carry cargo between foreign ports. Certain goods could not be shipped to any place in Europe other than Britain. Parliament would pay rewards to the colonies, by imposing tariffs. Americans were forbidden competition withe English companies.
