Why did some american colonists engage in smuggling and piracy? to collect more money for the british government because that was a way to obtain goods cheaply to stop imports from sailing from other countries because there were no consequences for breaking the law

because that was a way to obtain goods cheaply

Explanation:

When the colonies were founded in America, social mobility wasn´t something as common as nowadays, so people would turn to piracy or smuggle to obtain goods cheaply, or make a fortune, because otherwise was almost impossible, people that migrated to the colonies wasn´t always the ones that had it the best in Europe, more often than not they were poor farmers that wanted a chance at a better life, and since the first years of the colonies there were no real authority nor sense of belonging to the crown or the new colony.
