What was salutary neglect?

a. the unofficial policy where the british government relaxed control over the american colonies by only loosely enforcing certain laws
b. the unofficial policy where the british government armed american indians on the frontier to attack french settlers
c. the unofficial policy where the british government neglected the maintenance of roads and bridges in the north american colonies
d. the unofficial policy where the british government heavily taxed the north american colonies to pay for the french and indian war

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.

the ancient greek people valued the "country's laws" and expected citizens to show "respect" to such laws. however, the people valued divine authority above human authority and expected their leaders to honor the gods through their laws. they believed that those who respected the gods and ruled according to divine authority would obtain "high honors" by the people.

hope this : )
