Detailed explanation-1: -This “salutary neglect” contributed involuntarily to the increasing autonomy of colonial legal and legislative institutions, which ultimately led to American independence.
Detailed explanation-2: -Indeed, salutary neglect enabled the American colonies to prosper by trading with non-British entities, and then to spend that wealth on British-made goods, while at the same time providing Britain with raw materials for manufacture.
Detailed explanation-3: -How did the British policy of salutary neglect contribute to the development of America’s constitutional democracy? Salutary neglect offered the colonists a sense of freedom, which led to their desire to become completely independent from Britain.
Detailed explanation-4: -Salutary neglect was a large contributing factor that led to the American Revolutionary War. Since the imperial authority did not assert the power that it had, the colonists were left to govern themselves. These essentially sovereign colonies soon became accustomed to the idea of self-control.
