Answer:

The Navigation Acts prohibited trade with any country but England.

Explanation:

The Navigation Acts were a series of protectionist laws voted from 1651 by the English Parliament, during the mandate of Cromwell. They sought to finance the construction of a navy, and to weaken the colonies of Barbados, Bermuda and Virginia, controlled by the royalist opposition as a result of the emigration of the Cavaliers, preventing them from trading with other countries. Accompanying a worsening of the tax burden, they reserved for British seafarers the monopoly of the trade of the colonies with the metropolis, excluding foreign ships and ports. The Navigation Acts were abolished in 1849, during the victory of free traders in the public debate.
