The Navigation Acts were a series of laws enacted by Britain between 1651 and 1733, aimed at regulating trade within the British Empire to ensure that economic benefits flowed back to Great Britain. These laws dictated the use of British ships for colonial trade, restricted certain goods to specific markets, mandated the taxation of foreign imports, and imposed manufacturing restrictions on the colonies.
