Answer 1

Answer;

Navigation Acts

The English Navigation Acts heavily taxed goods shipped in the Southern Colonies and countries other than England

Explanation;

In October of 1651, the English Parliament passed its Navigation Acts of 1651. These acts were designed to tighten the government's control over trade between England, its colonies, and the rest of the world.

The reason for the First Navigation Act was to restrict Dutch shipping. The Dutch were the biggest competition to England. The rise of the Dutch carrying trade threatened to drive English shipping from the seas.

Answer 2

These were referred to as the "Navigation Acts," and were imposed on the colonies by Great Britain in order to increase revenue, but met with great backlash from the colonists.
