How much of a say did people in the American colonies have over their trade laws?

Basically, the American colonists had no interference in the trade laws of the Thirteen Colonies, which were determined directly by the British Parliament.

Thus, in economic matters, British laws such as the Navigation Acts prevented the colonies from trading with European nations, establishing a commercial monopoly with Great Britain. This situation collaborated with the progress of British commercialism, at the same time that it limited economic progress for the Americans.

As a consequence of this situation and other political tensions, in 1775 the Thirteen Colonies began their war of independence, declaring their independence as the United States of America a year later.

islamic religious leaders have traditionally been people who, as part of the clerisy, mosque, or government, performed a prominent role within their community or nation. however, in the modern contexts of muslims minorities in non-muslim countries as well as secularised muslim states like turkey, indonesia and bangladesh, religious leadership may take a variety of non-formal shapes.

compared to religious leaders/clerics of the other abrahamic faiths, islamic clergy are said to resemble rabbis and not priests. unlike catholic priests they do not "serve as intermediaries between mankind and god",[1] have "process of ordination",[2] or "sacramental functions",[1] but instead serve as "exemplars, teachers, judges, and community leaders," providing religious rules to the pious on "even the most minor and private" matters.[1]
