	Evaluation Overall it can be argued that Henry VII Social and domestic policies can be considered to be a success this is because Henry has successfully supressed 5 rebellions with little to no issues also Henry was able to increase exports which had led to an increase in his economy due to the increase of trade, However Henry VII Social and Domestic policy could be considered to be a failure this is because of the trade embargo which had prevented trade and had damaged the economy, also enclosures had been an issue throughout Henry VII reign this is because the two acts passed in 1489 had little effect this is because there wasn't much Henry could do to enforce the laws on the local people.
