Correct answer:  Cutting off trade

Details:

In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson provided a list of "facts to be submitted to a candid world" to demonstrate that the British king had been seeking to establish "an absolute Tyranny over these States" (the colonial states which were declaring their independence).  

Jefferson's list of complaints included items such as:

  • The king refused to assent to laws that were wholesome and necessary for the public good.
  • The king had forbidden colonial governors to enact laws or implement laws without his assent (which, as the prior point noted, he was in no hurry to give).
  • The king forced people to give up their rights to legislative assembly or forced legislative bodies to meet in difficult places that imposed hardships on them.
  • The king dissolved legislative assemblies and then refused for a long time to have other assemblies elected.
  • The king obstructed justice in the colonies and made judges dependent on his will alone for their salaries and their tenure in office.
  • The king kept standing armies in place in the colonies in peacetime, without the consent of the colonial legislatures.
  • The king cut off the colonists' trade with all parts of the world.
  • The king imposed taxes without the colonists' consent.

Cutting off trade as well as taxation complaints would both fall under economic concerns.  (The taxation concern was also especially about the issue of representation and a voice in government decisions.)

The various grievances listed in the Declaration were offered to support the colonies' position that tyranny was standard operating procedure by the British monarchy, and therefore the Americans were justified in establishing their independence from Britain.

All of the transactions that occur in connected markets across the economies of different countries create...
Yuliya22 [10]

The transaction that occurs between diverse industries across countries creates "a globalized economy".

Since the second half of the 20th century, trade between countries has suffered exponential growth. This is due to 2 reasons:

  • Some countries have more developed industries in certain fields. This is what effectively generates trade, as a country will import the goods it does not produce or lacks the conditions to do so.
  • Production factors such as raw materials or workforce are cheaper in certain countries. This has led companies to move their production to these latitudes.
