The correct answer is:

• The Parliament passed the Navigation Act and the colonist of Massachusetts did not like it. They continued to smuggle and the King thought they were resisting authority. After being warned to abide by the laws, England made them a royal colony in full control of the king and taking away their corporate charter.
