Navigation Act
It was used during the Navigation Acts of the 1950's, which caused the acts to not be enforced.
Strictly enforced.
The Navigation Acts enforced mercantilist policies. These brought Britain forth as the world's most dominate trader. They used policies to expand their own merchants ability to dominate the markets.
The reasons the Navigation Acts were not initially enforced by England was because they were hard to enforce. American harbors where ships could be unloaded were out-of-the-way. The Acts did not successfully control the trade. Smuggling was a common practice in the colonies and England. Also, people who could get a better price from a Dutch ship would often want to, no matter how loyal. It came down to whether or not you could afford it.
The Navigation Acts were written by English Parliament. The acts were passed on October 9th, 1651. The Navigation Acts were eventually repealed in 1849.

Navigation acts were a series of laws passed by the British Parliament in the 17th and 18th centuries to regulate colonial trade and shipping. They required goods to be transported on British ships and sold through British ports, limiting the ability of colonies to trade with other countries. Violations of these acts often resulted in heavy fines or loss of trading privileges.
