Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The salutary neglect definition is the unofficial British policy where parliamentary rules and laws were loosely or not enforced on the American colonies and trade. For the colonists, this policy expanded freedom when it came to trade and self-government, and resulted in colonial growth and prosperity.
Detailed explanation-2: -However, when the British Government tried to reverse the policy led to unrest and violence that contributed to the American Revolution and the War for Independence. Edmund Burke was the first one to use the phrase “salutary neglect.” He did so in a speech he delivered to the House of Commons on March 22, 1775.
