Mercantilism encouraged a desire for self-governance as it highlighted unjust power dynamics between colonies and Great Britain.
Mercantilism made colonies more loyal to their respective mother countries due to increased trading benefits.
Mercantilist practices led colonists to prefer monarchical rule over democratic self-governance.
