Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Navigation Acts stipulated that American colonies only could trade with the mother country. So, this laws limited market trades. In addition to that, British economic policy was heavily mercantilistic, which means that they had the colonies for financial state power, that's why they prohibited them to trade with other regions, because they could rebel.
