Colonies were allowed to trade only with the home country under the theory of mercantilism. This economic policy emphasized that a nation's strength was directly related to its wealth, which was best achieved through a favorable balance of trade. By restricting colonial trade to the home country, mercantilism aimed to ensure that the economic benefits flowed back to the mother nation, enhancing its power and resources.
