Best Answer

Salutary neglect was Britain's policy of ignoring the colonies. Prime Minister Walpole had believed that if the colonies were left to their own devices, they would flourish. This was the attitude toward the colonies until 1763. Any laws that might restrict the colonists were routinely ignored.
