The term means benefitting from not enforcing laws. By not forcing its American colonies to follow all parliamentary laws, Britain allowed America to remain attractive to new immigrants and to prosper economically through lax regulation of trade. It was only when Britain moved away from self-government and toward new regulations and taxes that the colonists became increasingly dissatisified with British rule.
