Abstract
by analyzing English-language historiographical sources of a marine nature, the article analyzes the degree of coverage of the issue of Navigation Acts as a factor and instrument of trade, economic and political development of England in the XVIII century. The article examines the degree to which the role of Navigation Acts has been studied in the context of Anglo-Saxon civilizational construction, as well as the creation of the British colonial system, which became one of the most developed and large-scale in the Late Modern era in comparison with similar colonial systems of other powers. The article concludes that there are several areas of analysis of the factorial significance of Navigation acts in the context of the trade, economic and political history of England in the 18th century, represented by the areas of "civilizational", "colonial", "historical and comparative". It is also concluded that the role of Navigation Acts has not been sufficiently studied from the point of view of reducing the researchers' analysis towards almost exclusively the Navigation Acts of 1651 and 1660.
