How did the Navigation acts in 1650s affect American colonies?

The Navigation Acts were imposed on the American colonies by England in order to restrict trade with every country except England.

Trade was kept inside the British Empire, and for the most part, the colonists obeyed the acts. However it was one of the things that sparked tension between the colonies and England.


What caused the British government to take more interest in the American colonies?

There were several factors that all worked together to draw Britain's attention to the American colonies. The first factor was France and Spain's withdraw from the American colonies, leaving Britain as the only control.

The colonies had also developed urban centers and large populations, this meant that the colonies had a strong economy and society independent from the British government which drew Britain's attention.
