the principle was put forth in the navigation acts of 1651, to try and reduce the viability of dutch shipping, which was declared void upon the restoration of charles ii, but was reinstated through the navigation act of 1660. similar laws were passed later that restricted trade with english colonies.

Did the colonists win the battle of lexingon?
Whether or not the colonists won the Battle of Lexington is arguable. The colonists at Lexington numbered about 70, and were primarily normal citizens, not trained soldiers. When the professional British military showed up, the man in change of the militia told the colonists to disband, for they were no match for the superior British force: a massive military force of highly trained troops. As the colonists headed back to their houses, a shot rang out, from which side it is unknown. A general, non-ordered fire resounded from the British, and a small amount of colonists were in the position to fire back. Many colonists died, but the only British casualty was the commanding officer's horse. After this initial confrontation, the British pushed onward to Concord, destroying a meager amount of stashed weapons and supplies. As the British returns to their base however, they were constantly sniped from all sides. The British went on to loose hundreds of men as they trudged back to their barracks. As while the initial confrontation went badly, the British lost more men in total than the colonists did. The British also watched as everywhere around them became suddenly hostile, people shot at them from houses, behind walls, from basically everywhere. The Psychological aspect of this fact must have been pretty substantial as well. So did the British win the actual "battle" of Lexington. It depends on what you still consider as part of the battle. Hopefully an expect will come along and revise this answer to give you a straight-to-the point answer, but that's all I got.

What was the results of the quartering act?
The Quartering Act, which originated in the British Parliament in colonial times, ordered American colonists to house and feed British soldiers. There were two versions of the act, in 1765 and 1774. Neither was popular and in fact, increasingly, the American colonists resented these laws and sought ways to circumvent them; most state legislatures did in fact ignore or refuse to comply with them. These acts contributed to the belief on the part of the colonists that a revolution was necessary, in order to become independent from unfair British laws.

What is the main reason the colonists won against the British?
Logistically and financially, the British could not maintain hostile operations in their American colonies.

The Seven Years War had all but bankrupted the English treasury, and she still hadn't fully recouperated when the American colonies revolted.
