Navigation Act
One of the main intentions of the Navigation Acts was to insulate British shipping companies from competition with the Dutch. Enforcement was often overlooked because the acts actually cost the British money due to stifling cash flow and trade.
It was used during the Navigation Acts of the 1950's, which caused the acts to not be enforced.
Strictly enforced.
King George III strictly enforced the Navigation Acts to strengthen British control over colonial trade and ensure that economic benefits flowed back to Britain. These laws mandated that certain goods produced in the colonies be shipped exclusively to England or its other colonies, thereby maximizing British profits and minimizing foreign competition. By enforcing these acts, the crown aimed to bolster its economy and maintain its dominance in global trade during a time of increasing colonial unrest.
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 The Navigation Acts were eventually repealed in 1849.
the navigation acts were passed in 1660.
