    Salutary neglect, policy of the British government from the early to mid-18th century regarding its North American colonies under which trade regulations for the colonies were laxly enforced and imperial supervision of internal colonial affairs was loose as long as the colonies remained loyal to the British government and contributed to the economic profitability of Britain. This "salutary neglect" contributed involuntarily to the increasing autonomy of colonial legal and legislative institutions, which ultimately led to American independence.
