Question

what was the colonial response to the navigation acts?
o the colonial economy was hurt by the acts, so they protested and successfully had them removed.
o the acts removed colonists’ rights, so they declared independence from england.
o the colonists knew that the acts were not often enforced, so they snuck goods in from other countries.
o the colonists benefited from the acts, so they became more loyal to england.

Explanation:

The Navigation Acts restricted colonial trade, but enforcement was lax. Colonists took advantage by smuggling goods from other countries. They did not have the acts removed, nor did the acts directly lead to the Declaration of Independence, and the acts generally hurt rather than benefited the colonial economy.

Answer:

The colonists knew that the acts were not often enforced, so they snuck goods in from other countries.
