Age of mercantilism
To enforce mercantilism England passed the NAVIGATION ACTS, (Trade Acts) beginning in 1651. These acts were designed to control trade with its colonies. These laws forced the colonies to trade only with England. England passed other Trade Acts that continued to control colonial trade.
Mercantilism, an economic theory emphasizing the accumulation of wealth through trade and the establishment of colonies, significantly drove the exploration and settlement of the New World. European powers sought to expand their empires, acquire resources, and establish trade routes to enhance their national wealth. This led to the colonization of territories rich in gold, silver, and other valuable commodities, as nations aimed to create a favorable balance of trade. Consequently, mercantilism fueled competition among European countries, resulting in increased exploration and the establishment of settlements across the Americas.
Mercantilism was the economic policy European monarchs used in order to enrich their country via exporting more than importing in the trade's market. During mercantilism's peak it was a very effective tool for the monarchs at that time in causing the enrichment.
