Answer 1

Answer:engaged in risky smuggling

Step-by-step explanation:

reflects the status of colonial exports after the enactment of policies such as the Wool Act of 1699 by England. The Wool Act of 1699 was intended to restrict the export of woolen goods from the American colonies and Ireland to foreign markets, in order to protect the English woolen industry. This led to increased smuggling activities by colonists who sought to bypass the restrictions and continue exporting their goods to foreign markets.
