How do you think colonial traders might have responded if England started to strictly enforce the Navigation Acts?

Answer:

The main colonial response to the Navigation Acts was smuggling. They did not believe that the acts were just and so they felt justified in breaking them. They believed that smuggling was not really a crime because the laws were unjust.
