The English Parliament first passed the Navigation Acts in 1651. These laws were designed to regulate colonial trade and ensure that it benefited England economically, primarily by requiring that certain goods be transported on English ships. Subsequent acts and revisions followed, further tightening control over colonial commerce throughout the 17th and 18th centuries.
The English Parliament passed the Navigation Acts beginning in 1651, with the primary intention of regulating trade between England and its colonies. The most significant of these acts was the Navigation Act of 1660, which reinforced the earlier legislation by stipulating that certain goods produced in the colonies could only be shipped to England or English territories. These acts were part of a broader mercantilist strategy to control colonial trade and ensure that it benefited England economically.
Both the French and the English colonies wanted to control the fur trade.
In 1651, the British Parliament ruled that only English ships would be able to engage in trade with English colonies. This strengthened its trade empire, but ended up leading to a bitter feud with the Dutch.
Parliament passed the Navigation Acts to keep all the profits from the colonies for England. They banned trade in colonial ports with any foreign country other than England. Thus, goods couldn't go straight to Europe, bypass Britain and keep British merchants from making money.
