○ taxes
○ salutary neglect
○ trade
○ mercantilism

1. multiple choice 20 points

why were trade laws hard for the british to enforce on the colonists?
○ because of how far the colonies were from britain
○ because they did not have an army or navy.
○ because of lack of interest in the colonies.
○ because of the colonial army

Explanation:

1. Salutary neglect was a British policy that allowed the American colonies more self - governance and economic freedom, promoting growth in independence and international trade. Laissez - faire is a more general economic philosophy not specifically related to British colonial growth in this context. Trade is too general, and mercantilism restricted colonies' economic independence.
2. The British had difficulty enforcing trade laws on the colonies mainly because of the great distance between Britain and the colonies, which made surveillance and enforcement challenging. The British had a strong army and navy, they had an interest in the colonies for economic reasons, and the colonial army was not the main factor in the difficulty of enforcing trade laws.

Answer:

1. Salutary neglect
2. Because of how far the colonies were from Britain
