Hello, everybody! Our test is coming up soon, but we won't be having a study session. Let's try to use this space to help each other out.
For those of you doing the curve packet study guide, there's a question about the Navigation Acts that isn't covered too broadly. Apparently, these acts were a series of 17th century laws that restricted foreign shipping for use in trade between England and its colonies. As to how it helped wage economic warfare, it limited colonial trade to England. This prevented the Netherlands, France, and other European countries from gaining revenue. Hope that helped at least a little bit.
I would like to ask a question for clarification.
Why is denying a group access to knowledge or the opportunity to make use of their abilities harmful to all members of society?
Can anyone clarify more on the sugar act of 1764?
18th century discussion at its best. You have to love it. Glad to see some folks are trying their best. Here are a few clues:

Thanks for the clues, Mr. Neal! They'll definitely help a lot.
As for the Sugar Act, I'll try my best to explain it. Hope this helps, Gardenia:
The Sugar Act of 1764 was created by the British Parliament, and was mainly passed to create more revenue for England. The American colonies had been trading molasses heavily with places like the French, Dutch, and Spanish West Indies - because of this, Britain was unable to get much out of commerce. To stop American colonial trade with other nations, then, the British placed a heavy tax on the exported molasses. This didn't work, though, due to the work of American smugglers who found ways to avoid payment.
The British had to encourage the success of this tax by deciding to collect only half the original amount from colonists. This resulted in the passage of the Sugar Act - however, officials now regulated the law much heavily. For instance, smugglers were tried in strict vice admiralty courts instead of local colonial courts. Ship captains had to take rigorous inventory of their cargo and verify paperwork before setting sail. Finally, the law stated that specific goods - like lumber - could only be traded to Britain. Understandably, the colonists were pretty upset at this.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, guys. Hopefully this proved helpful!
