Which act defined the American colonies' roles as suppliers of raw materials and markets for English goods?

The Navigation Act is the correct choice because it was a series of laws enacted by the English Parliament that aimed to regulate colonial trade and enable England to collect taxes from the colonies. Specifically, these acts restricted the shipping of certain goods, ensuring that the colonies served primarily as suppliers of raw materials to England and as markets for English manufactured goods. This framework was known as mercantilism, which was designed to benefit the mother country economically.

In contrast, the Stamp Act was primarily a tax on paper goods and documents, the Tea Act was a law that granted a monopoly on tea sales to the British East India Company, and the Intolerable Acts were punitive measures in response to colonial protests against British taxation and governance. While these acts had significant impacts on colonial relations with England, they did not specifically establish the economic roles of the colonies as defined by the Navigation Act.
