Question

England attempted to regulate colonial trade through all of the following means except:

Regulating the amount of money in the colonies.
Controlling colonial manufacturing.
Taxing the shipbuilding industry.

Answer 1

The correct answer is "taxing the shipbuilding industry," not regulating money.

Answer 2

The correct answer is "taxing the shipbuilding industry"

Step-by-step explanation:

Ships made in the colonies were considered English ships and were not subject to special taxes or restrictions.

Since 1651 with the first of the navigation laws, Britain began imposing trade restrictions on all British colonies, including tariffs and taxes on imports and exports. During the following more than 100 years, a series of punitive navigation laws hindered the colonial economy by restricting trade with any country considered rival to Britain and demanding that only English ships could be used to transport goods.
