How did salutary neglect lead to legislative assemblies?
I am wondering the same thing and what I've gotten so far is that because of salutary neglect, citizens were able to form their own legislative assemblies and were free to make their own decisions. ------ Legislative Assemblies did not form beause of "salutary neglect." It did, however, lead to stronger Legislative Assemblies. Legislative Assemblies were formed out of the same principle of the British House of Commons. The principle of government in the House of Commons was that government should represent the people. Englishmen in the North American colonies called for the same institution in their own colony. Of course, 'the people' only refered to property holders in nearly all colonies. At various times, each colony was permitted to develop its own assembly which, in theory, was supposed to be subordinated to the executive branch, the Royal colonial governments. Through what historians call "salutary neglect," the English government did not strictly enforce laws on its North American colonies, nor did it provide back-up support to the Royal Governors. As a result, the Royal Governors' power was less than it should have been, and they had to cooperate with the assemblies. This gave the assemblies much greater power within their own colony.
