To deal with the trade problems with Britain and France what law
was passed?
Explain what it was supposed to
do?

The Navigation Acts were a series of laws passed by the British Parliament that imposed restrictions on colonial trade.

Explanation:

In 1651, the British Parliament, in the first of what became known as the Navigation Acts, declared that only English ships would be allowed to bring goods into England, and that the North American colonies could only export its commodities, such as tobacco and sugar, to England. This effectively prevented the colonies from trading with other European countries. The act was followed by several others that imposed additional limitations on colonial trade and increased customs duties.
