The colonists were outraged. But they mainly just ignored the acts. If they needed to trade something they just smuggled it to where it needed to go. The colonists knew that the king wanted to control their trade and that made them angry. They believed that they did not belong to the king and therefore should not have to answer to a ridiculous set of laws. But it hurt their economy badly for those who obeyed the acts. Because the Navigation acts stated that the goods going to and from the colonies had to be brought in on English ships and 75% of the crew had to be English Because the goods had to come in on English ships the owners of English ships made the colonists pay way more because they were the only ones who could take the product to England and then where ever they needed to go. The governor of Massachusetts said that his colony would not follow the acts.
