How were the navigation acts of 1651 and the molasses act of 1733 alike?

The correct answer to this question is A) they both put limits on colonial trade.

The Navigation Acts of 1651 and the Molasses Act of 1733 were alike because both put limits on colonial trade.

The Navigation Acts of 1651 were a series of laws that the British Parliament passed intending to restrict colonial trade. The British Parliament intended to protect the English trade and economic interest in the times when Dutch navigation and trade were flourishing. The Molasses Act of 1733 imposed taxes on sugar, molasses, and rum that the American colonies imported from other countries that were not part of England. The monarchy wanted to protect British products and did not want people to buy cheaper products from Spain or France.

The other options of the question were B) they both shut down colonial ports. C) they both forced the colonies to trade with the Dutch. D) they both eliminated taxes on colonial imports.
