How did primogeniture contribute to Englands transformation into an empire-building nation?
 
  a. It prevented some landowners from enclosing their lands for sheep-grazing, thus encouraging them to seek a fresh start overseas.
  b. It banned English buccaneers from plundering Spanish treasure on the high seas, leading them to seek wealth by establishing their own colonies.
  c. It decreed that only eldest sons could inherit landed estates, which encouraged ambitious younger sons of wealthy landholders to seek their fortunes in colonizing adventures.
  d. It required the English monarch to fund any reasonable proposal for establishing a colony, which virtually guaranteed a ready source of capital for colonial enterprises.
  e. It decreed that wealthy fathers had to provide equal financial support to all of their sons, which included funding adventurers who might want to explore and colonize the New World.
