Colonists reacted with anger. They were not happy that they had to pay more for things, buy only British boats, white crue, and other items. Everything they had they could only be acquired by either home made, grown, or bought from the pricey British. Such act resulted in boycott (not buying British materials, producing it themselves.), and smuggling (sneaking around and secretly buying products from other countries) . The colonists were very angry, and had felt taken advantage of, which they were. The British were selfish by doing so. The act caused people to go into poverty.
The Navigation Acts restricted the colonies from trading with other foreign countries like Spain, France, and the Netherlands or their colonies. England did this to keep the trade benefits for themselves. Most colonists obeyed and did not trade with foreign ships, but others resorted to smuggling as a reaction to these acts.
Basically, the Acts restricted who the colonists could trade with and what products they could trade. The Navigation Acts were an attempt to put the theory of Mercantilism into practice in the British colonies. The object of mercantilism was to minimize imports that cost the nation money, and maximize exports that made the nation money. Colonies were a means of reducing England's dependence on foreign nations. Each colony would provide a raw material to England and this would allow the nation to not have to purchase that product from another nation. By establishing colonies loyal to the Crown, Great Britain would be expanding a dependable market for the finished products coming out of British industries. The Navigation Acts required that all colonial trade be carried in vessels built and owned by English or colonial merchants. The ships had to be manned by crews composed of British seamen.

Some colonists resorted to smuggling in order to get around the Navigation Acts. They were a series of acts that restricted foreign shipping for trade between the colonies and England.
by responding
before the navigation acts the colonists could trade more freely
It affected them because the colonists had to sell they're raw materials to Britain even if they could get a better price elsewhere.
before the navigation acts the colonists could trade more freely
You seem a little confused. The British imposed the Intolerable Acts. The colonies responded by defying them.
The colonists were likely to respond to the governors' actions with resistance and opposition. They were angered by the governors' oppressive and abusive policies, which violated their rights and freedoms. The colonists often engaged in acts of protest, such as boycotts and protests, to challenge the governors' authority.
