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.

The Navigation Acts were a series of laws passed by England in the 17th and 18th centuries to enforce the mercantile system. These acts required that all colonial imports and exports be carried on English ships, and certain goods could only be exported to England. They also placed tariffs and restrictions on trade with other countries, in order to protect English merchants and ensure a favorable balance of trade.
