Detailed explanation-1: -Salutary neglect was Britain’s unofficial policy, initiated by prime minister Robert Walpole, to relax the enforcement of strict regulations, particularly trade laws, imposed on the American colonies late in the seventeenth and early in the eighteenth centuries.
Detailed explanation-2: -This “salutary neglect” contributed involuntarily to the increasing autonomy of colonial legal and legislative institutions, which ultimately led to American independence.
Detailed explanation-3: -Salutary neglect was an unwritten, unofficial policy of the British government in practice from about the late 1600s to the mid-1700s that allowed its North American colonies to be left largely on their own with little British interference.
Detailed explanation-4: -Salutary Neglect was an unwritten government policy that encouraged British customs officials to loosely enforce the Navigation Acts. It ended because Britain needed to enforce the Acts in order to raise money from the colonies in order to pay for the government and army needed to manage the colonies.
