King George III strictly enforced the Navigation Acts to strengthen British control over colonial trade and ensure that economic benefits flowed back to Britain. These laws mandated that certain goods produced in the colonies be shipped exclusively to England or its other colonies, thereby maximizing British profits and minimizing foreign competition. By enforcing these acts, the crown aimed to bolster its economy and maintain its dominance in global trade during a time of increasing colonial unrest.
