The British policy of Salutary Neglect was a governing approach in the British North American colonies in the early 18th century. Originated by Prime Minister Robert Walpole, the approach held that colonies would become more economically productive if they were not subjected to strict regulations and oversight. A prime example of this would be the British reluctance to enforce trade laws strictly, allowing for smuggling and local governance.
