What did james ii do to gain absolute power?

answer:

for one thing he had an absolute monarchy. for two, he kept his nobles and advisors poor so they needed expensive gifts and money from him. he was ruthless, spent a lot, and cheated.

the navigation act prevented the colonies from exporting to countries other than britain and it prevented the importation of goods by other countries as well. so i believe the correct answer is d. other nations could not deliver goods to the colonies.

hope this .
