Question

Since the colonies were established by Britain, and the colonists were British subjects, do you think Britain was right or wrong in establishing the economic policy of mercantilism?

Answer 1

They were wrong, because by establishing that policy they took the rights of colonists, who were practically subjugated to British crown.

Explanation:

• Tensions between the British government and the colonies were further intensified by Britain's policy of mercantilism - economic and trade absolutism by reducing imports and developing domestic production.
• In addition, King George III (ruled from 1760 to 1820) imposed new taxes on the colonies to pay off debts incurred during the French and Native American War.
• The American colonists, accustomed to self-rule were furious because of the tyranny of the London government.
