its colonies’ imports and exports to produce a
favorable balance of trade?
(1) embargo (3) mercantilism
(2) outsourcing (4) transmigration

Answer 1

Answer: answer is mercantilism

Explanation:mercantilism is an economic theory that parallels the political theory of absolutism just as laissez-faire parallels democracy/constitutionalism. Under mercantilism the government of a Nation plays a major role in constructing the trade that takes place within a nation and with foreign trades. This control is especially evident with the mother country's regulation of imports and exports involving the colonies
