Answer:

To regulate trade and taxes in the colonies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Following Great Britain's success at the Seven Years War, where they acquired some of the French Territories in North America, King George III of Great Britain issued the Royal Proclamation in 1763, which specifically prohibit colonists to settle west beyond the Appalachian Mountains, drawn as an Indian Reserve.
