What is the purpose of the Navigation Acts?
Did the Navigation Acts have any role in the American Revolution?
Yes, they did. The Navigation Acts were one of the factors that led to the American Revolution. Many colonists viewed these Acts as a form of economic oppression and saw them as an infringement on their rights. They felt that they were being forced to sell their goods to Britain at lower prices than what they would fetch on the open market. This, along with other factors such as taxation without representation, helped to fuel the American Revolution.
