Question

Which of the following most directly led to the passage of the navigation act of 1660

Answer 1

The emergence of an Atlantic economy

Step-by-step explanation:

The navigation act of 1660 led to the emergence of the Atlantic economy. The Atlantic economy flourished with introducing the Atlantic trade in the late 16th century. This act restricted colonial trade by decreasing foreign imported goods and dependency on England. The Navigation Act of 1660 continued the orders of the 1651 and named tobacco, cotton, sugar, wool, and indigo to be shipped only to England or part of English territory.
