The colonies were allowed to make many of their own laws primarily due to the British policy of salutary neglect, which permitted them a degree of self-governance in exchange for economic loyalty. This autonomy was further driven by the geographical distance from Britain, making direct control impractical. As a result, colonial assemblies developed the authority to create local laws that addressed specific needs and circumstances of their communities, fostering a sense of independence and self-reliance.
