GIVING BRAINLIEST AND FIVE STARS!
List three ways in which the Navigation Acts helped England.

The Navigation Acts benefited England in that the colonies had to purchase imports only brought by English ships and could only sale their products to England.

When the Navigation Acts were first passed, they hurt trade in many parts of the colonies.  For example, Virginia had sold much of its tobacco to Dutch traders.  Now it could not, which lowered the prices that it could charge.

At still other times, the acts had very little impact.  This was because the British government did not try very hard to enforce them.  The American colonies did a great deal of trade with Britain, thus keeping the mother country happy.  It therefore did not try too hard to keep them from trading illegally with places like French colonies in the Caribbean.  Thus, trade was not greatly affected.

originally framed to encourage the development of English shipping so that adequate auxiliary vessels would be available in wartime, became a form of trade protectionism during an era of mercantilism.

English tonnage and trade increased steadily from the late 17th century
