As long as the colonists provided for their mother country, the British, they could set their own course and laws. Many of these legislatures, especially in Massachusetts and Virginia, were accustomed to passing their own laws regarding taxation. following speech addresses the idea of salutary neglect. Source: "All government, indeed every human benefit and enjoyment, every virtue, and every prudent [wise] act, is founded on compromise and barter. We balance inconveniencies; we give and take; we remit [let go] some rights that we may enjoy others; we choose rather to be happy citizens than subtle disputants [arguers]." 1. What do you think Burke means when he references compromise and barter? "My hold of the colonies is in the close affection which grows from common names, from kindred blood, from similar privileges and equal protection. These are the ties, which, though light as air, are as strong as links of iron. Let the colonies always keep their idea of their civil rights associated with your government,—they will cling and grapple to you, and no force under heaven will be of power to tear them from their allegiance." 2.
