History
1 answer:
HACTEHA [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

England used the policies of <u>mercantilism </u>to maintain control in the colonies. The <u>central government administered its possessions for the economic benefit of the mother country.  </u>

Explanation:

Despite England didn't control its colonies like Portugal and Spain, the British Crown used the same polices as the Iberian Empires. Mercantilism is a mix of economical ideas and practices such as tax collection over exportation and importation, among other policies in order to maintain the control and to let the colonies know that England was close and operating. To work properly, Mercantilism should have an administrator in the colonies chosen by the Mother Country. That's the way England knew what was happening there.

Why was foreign affairs department created by Washington in his first administration
dedylja [7]

President George Washington was considered to be the "father of the country", but also father of neutrality. He knew America was living with internal issues, and was neither strong enough to fight a war nor stable enough to finance one. Thus, he decided to seek a more diplomatic solution. <u>Having a foreign affairs department was essential for President Washington; he was against isolationism and wanted the U.S to be an active participant of the western world.</u> In George Washington's foreign affairs, he made sure the United States didn't favor too highly one State above another nor allied with others in international wars.
