Answer:

Closed American ports overseas

Step-by-step explanation:

The Prohibitory Act was British legislation in late 1775 that cut off all trade between the Thirteen Colonies and England and removed the colonies from the King's protection.

(The colonies were rebelling and King George lll didn't want them trading and become independent from Britian)
