Slavery in Colonial America

Question 9 • SVHS US History and Constitution #FA

How were the Navigation Acts of 1651 and the Molasses Act of 1733 alike?

Answer
A
They both put limits on colonial trade.
B
They both shut down colonial ports.
C
They both forced the colonies to trade with the Dutch.
D
They both eliminated taxes on colonial imports.

Explanation

Both laws restricted colonial trade to benefit England. The Navigation Acts required many goods to be carried on English ships and sent through English ports, while the Molasses Act taxed molasses imported from non-British territories. So both put limits on colonial trade; neither shut down ports or eliminated import taxes.
