Best Answer

The first Navigation Act was passed by English parliament in 1651 CE, it stated that goods from Asia, Africa and America could not be transported to England except in English ships. The second Navigation Act was passed in 1660, it forbade importing into or exporting from British colonies except in British ships. The British government passed several other import export laws into the 18th century, however the Navigation Acts were first of these laws.
