What are limits on liberties of colonists?

Colonists faced several limits on their liberties, primarily enforced by British authorities through laws and taxes that restricted their economic and political freedoms. The Navigation Acts controlled trade, requiring colonists to use British ships and sell certain goods exclusively to Britain. Additionally, the Intolerable Acts imposed punitive measures in response to colonial dissent, such as the closure of Boston Harbor and the suspension of local governance. These restrictions fueled resentment and contributed to the call for independence.
