Mercantilism=_______________________________________________

Trade
Navigation acts
Taxes

Correct Answer

A. Navigation acts

Explanation

Mercantilism is an economic theory that emerged in the 16th century and was widely practiced in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries. It promoted the idea that a nation's wealth and power could be increased by maximizing exports and minimizing imports. The navigation acts were a series of laws passed by the British government during this time to regulate colonial trade and ensure that most goods were transported on British ships. These acts were a key component of mercantilism as they aimed to control and monopolize colonial trade, ultimately benefiting the British economy. Taxes were also an important aspect of mercantilism as they provided revenue for the government and helped regulate trade.
