The Navigation Acts..i think.(:
The British government wanted to do everything possible to control the trade the Colonists had with other countries. Passing the Navigation Acts limited the countries that the Colonists could trade with.
The development of trade laws in the colonies, particularly through mercantilist policies, aimed to regulate colonial commerce and ensure that wealth flowed back to the mother country. These laws restricted trade with other nations, leading to economic dependency and fostering resentment among colonists who felt their economic freedoms were limited. The enforcement of such laws often resulted in smuggling and conflict, contributing to a growing sense of American identity and resistance against British rule. Ultimately, these trade regulations played a significant role in escalating tensions that led to the American Revolution.

The British enforced mercantilism in the American colonies through a series of laws and regulations, most notably the Navigation Acts, which mandated that colonial trade be conducted primarily with England and its colonies. These acts restricted the export of certain goods, requiring them to be shipped on British or colonial ships, thereby ensuring that profits from colonial resources benefitted Britain. Additionally, the British government implemented tariffs and duties on imports and exports to control colonial commerce and maintain a favorable balance of trade. This enforcement was often met with resistance from colonists, leading to tensions that contributed to the American Revolution.
