When did The Navigation Acts supported the idea that the role of colonies was to provide to England?

The Navigation Acts, first enacted in the mid-17th century, particularly with the Navigation Act of 1651, established that the colonies existed primarily to benefit England economically. These laws mandated that colonial trade be conducted on English ships and that certain goods produced in the colonies, such as tobacco and sugar, be exported only to England or English territories. By enforcing these restrictions, the Navigation Acts reinforced the notion that the colonies were to serve as a source of raw materials and a market for English goods, solidifying their role in the mercantilist framework of the British Empire.
