Mercantilist Effects Positive Results Navigation Acts were not an economic burden Colonials had rights of Englishmen Enjoyed military protection profited from manufacturing and trading Negative Results economy did not develop as quickly southern colonies hit hard as prices for exports dropped Writs of Assistance: search warrants used to harass colonial shipping resulted with phrase no taxation w/o representation

    5. King George III and views Why did the King seek to increase control over the colonies through the different Acts?? Which of the Acts had the most impact on the colonies? What was wrong with the Admiralty Courts? What are the British views vs the Colonists views?

    6. Virtual Representation What did Grenville mean when he said the colonists had virtual representation? Do you agree or disagree?

    7. Food for Thought? Do the colonists owe the British for settling in America, or did they do it basically on their own? Was the French and Indian War fought primarily to defend the colonists or help the British Empire? Was the requirement for payment in hard money (specie) fair?
