Unit 2 – Colonial Society, 1607–1754
Topic 2.4
How did mercantilist policies connected with Transatlantic Trade influence colonial attitudes toward governance?
Mercantilism made colonies more loyal to their respective mother countries due to increased trading benefits.
Mercantilist practices led colonists to prefer monarchical rule over democratic self-governance.
Mercantilism encouraged a desire for self-governance as it highlighted unjust power dynamics between colonies and Great Britain.
Mercantilism had no considerable impact on colonists' attitudes toward governance, focusing solely on economics instead.
