Actually, they didn't make laws stricter. As an example the tea tax was lowered instead of the higher tax fable. They tried to enforce laws and it was impossible since they were several thousand miles from home base . They did arrest people and put them on prison ships in New York harbor, but it was hard to regulate the colonies.

What was the three English laws passed in the 1600s that set up trade rules for the british colonies in north America?

The three significant English laws passed in the 1600s that established trade rules for the British colonies in North America were the Navigation Acts. The first act, enacted in 1651, mandated that certain goods produced in the colonies, known as "enumerated goods," could only be shipped to England or English colonies. Subsequent acts in 1660 and 1663 expanded these regulations, requiring that trade with the colonies be conducted on English or colonial ships and mandating that goods imported to the colonies had to pass through England first. These laws aimed to bolster England's economy and control colonial trade.
