The Sugar Act was a tax law which cut the tax on sugar and molasses in the colonies in half, but increased the enforcement of the tax collection. The Navigation Acts were trade laws which forbid any country other than Britain from directly trading with the American colonies. All they really had in common was being directed at America by Britain so Britain would make more money.
