The Middle Colonies

Question 8 • VT-NY-Regents-US History and Government

How did the Navigation Acts change the way the colonies could trade?

Answer
A
by raising taxes on imported goods
B
by making it easier to import from other countries
C
by allowing the colonies to export products to any country

Explanation

The Navigation Acts restricted colonial trade by requiring many goods to be shipped through England or on English ships, and by limiting trade with other countries. These rules could make imported goods more costly, including through duties and other fees. So the best choice is A, raising taxes on imported goods; the acts did not make foreign trade easier or allow exports to any country.
