Explanation: England tried to keep control over its colonies in the following ways:
• Through its mercantilist economic policy, which benefited only England and harmed the settlers and for this reason was not viewed with good eyes by the settlers.
• Through the imposition of laws such as the Seal Law, which the English Empire established without taking into account that the colonists did not enjoy the right to be represented in parliament, as well as the approval of new taxes such as the tea tax case.
• Through the sending of English troops to the port of Boston and the imposition of the Law of Quartering that consisted of providing lodging and food to the English soldiers obligatorily during their stay in America.
