Whose power did forest laws increase?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Forest department and colonial government

Correct answer: B, the forest department and the colonial government. Forest laws gave the colonial state legal authority over forests. They defined which areas were reserved or protected, controlled cutting and grazing, regulated hunting and the collection of forest products, and empowered officials to punish violations. Therefore, the government and its forest department gained power over resources that many local communities had traditionally used. A is wrong because cotton traders did not receive the authority created by forest laws. C is wrong because sea fishers were not the main legal authority over inland forests. D is wrong because folk artists had no such administrative power. Memory cue: when a colonial law controls a resource, state authority usually grows.
