The colonies becamecompletely autonomous from Great Britain and considered themselves their own entity with their own established government body. However, this autonomous attitude of the colonies also lead to the American Revolution because after the 7 years war (French & Indian war) the colonists had a bad taste in their mouths from Britain's forceful attempt to make the colonists side with them against France. After the war, the GB began to renege on the policy of salutary neglect and thus the many "tax" acts were set in place. At this point the colonists began to revolt against GB's sudden hands on approach and the Revolutionary war began.

The colonies gained their independence from England. For A+ :)
Britain pursued a policy of salutary neglect toward her American colonies because Britain wanted obedience from them and without restrictions, the colonies would flourish. Salutary neglect is an undocumented, though longstanding, British policy of avoiding strict enforcement of parliamentary laws, meant to keep the American colonies obedient to Great Britain. Britain also passed unjust laws and many different acts upon the colonists to keep their loyalty towards them. Salutary neglect was a main factor for many battles and wars and it was mainly so Britain wouldn't lose the colonists' loyalty and they would stay under their government.
Salutary neglect was a very "hands-off" approach to the colonies by England. It was a method intended to keep the colonies favorably obedient to England. In the American colonies it, instead, fostered self-control and self-governance which led to the Revolutionary War.

Salutary Neglect occurred from approx. 1607 to 1763.
No, salutary neglect was when the British neglected to enforce what was going on in the colonies, while the navigation acts were restricted and/or abolished the colonists trade with countries other then Britain, mercantilism. So salutary neglect was exactly the opposite of "enforcing" anything.

Robert Walpole
Salutary neglect was instituted by Prime Minister Robert Walpole. This was because he believed if the colonists were free from restrictions they would flourish.
For a while, Britain did not enforce all its laws in the American colonies, hoping this policy of salutary neglect would avoid conflict.
