Two ways the navigation acts benefited England?
They had the advantage (to England) of severely limiting the ability of Dutch ships to participate in the carrying trade. This encouraged the expansion of the English merchant fleet, which became the largest in the world. The Navigation Acts, by reserving British colonial trade to British shipping, may have significantly assisted in the growth of London as a major financial center, at the expense of Dutch cities. The increase in merchant shipping and in trade generally also facilitated to a rapid increase in the size and quality of the British Navy, which led to Britain becoming a global superpower until the mid 20th Century. The benefits to the colonies are backhanded benefits. The Navigation Acts encouraged the development of some pretty formalized smuggling and a healthy black market developed. This showed the colonists that they did have the ability to break free of England and survive. Secondly, they were a major precipitating cause of the American Revolution and forced the break with England much faster than would have otherwise happened.

What do the colonists do about The Intolerable Acts?
After the Boston Tea Party, the British clamped down on the Massachusetts colony, and passed what came to be known as the Intolerable Acts. Most colonists were outraged by them; they seemed far too harsh and unjust: colonists felt that the acts strangled commerce and trade, and treated the people of Massachusetts like convicted criminals. Some of the colonists mounted protests, and many refused to comply with these new laws. A few of the more influential colonists, including John Hancock, even wrote to the royal authorities to demand that these acts be repealed immediately. But when nothing seemed to work, the Intolerable Acts led the colonists to decide a revolution was necessary.

How did the Townsend Acts of 1767 that required the colonists to pay taxes on imported goods like tea affect some colonists?
The Townsend Acts really miffed some colonists. They revolted. But they were also afraid of being caught or blamed.
