How was the economic system of mercantilism established?

Parliament passed laws that legally constrained the trade from the colonies to the home country

It was enforced through violence, and the larger number of slave producers, the more violent the enforcement

Colonial legislatures introduced regulations that prevented the colonies from expanding their production

Parliament passed a series of quotas of production, and as long as their colonies met the production quotas, they were allowed to keep the surplus

Parliament created special investigators $-$ the forerunners of British intelligence $($Mi$-6)$ to deploy to the colonies and enforce the quotas
