In the 1600s, for Britain to restrict colonial trade, the Navigation Acts were made. The Parliament made the Acts to protect the British shipping against the Dutch and other foreign powers. The competition in trading was very evident during that time thus this was one of their purposes. Another is for Britain to have monopoly on colonial commodities like tobacco and sugar. During that time, the principle of mercantilism dominated when it comes to the economic system. The context stated that the nation’s wealth depends on accumulated supply of gold. As per conventional wisdom, wealth is limited because there is also a limited supply of gold. And imperialism states that primarily colonies, preferably through the discovery of gold but also through the production of natural resources, expanded its wealth. Mercantilist model states that open trade could only result to loss of wealth and this was what the Navigation Acts wanted to lessen if not abolish. The Acts were made for the purpose of retaining the imperial realm’s wealth where trading power had to utilize the colonies’ resources within a closed- trade system.

How do Jonathan Edwards beliefs reflect the ideas of both the great awakening and the enlightenment

jeka57 [31]

The first Puritans who settled in New England brought with them a passion and conviction in their religious beliefs. Many also believed in the reality and efficacy of magic. Especially in New England, the culture of wonders was rooted in providentialism, a belief that God governs the world at each moment through His will and that all events occur as part of His ordained plan. Providentialism provides that one can best understand the natural world as the organic expression of God’s desire.

In an effort to reverse this trend, Puritan ministers developed the Half-Way Covenant in 1662. This declaration allowed for a new category of members who were converted but did not have full communion rights. In addition, this covenant allowed children of the converted to have church membership even if they had not been baptized. This partial church membership led to greater religious participation, but at the same time weakened the purity of religion. As members of the church’s elite grew increasingly frustrated and concerned about the effects of the Half-Way Covenant, these tensions spilled over into the events that would come to be known as the Salem Witch Trials.
