Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enumerated goods were specific colonial products, like tobacco and sugar, that were required by the Navigation Acts to be first landed in and taxed by England before they could be re-exported to other countries. This was part of England's mercantilist strategy to control trade and ensure that the benefits of colonial commerce accrued to the mother country.
