Question

Why did the navigation acts not spark colonial rebellion as did the acts passed after 1763?

Answer 1

The navigation acts not spark colonial rebellion as did the acts passed after 1763 because colonists had a constant source for their goods. Colonial shipbuilders also had a booming business. Everyone made money, so they were content for the time being.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Navigation Acts of England were a series of laws enacted in 1651 that restricted the use of foreign ships in the commerce of England (later Great Britain and its colonies). They arose as a result of the 1648 Revolution, in response to the economic conflict. The resentment against these laws motivated the Anglo-Dutch wars and the War of Independence of the United States.

At first, these laws did not have direct consequences in the American colonies, since they commercialized directly with Great Britain and obtained from it all the necessary inputs, but a while later it became one of the causes of the war for independence.
