Post by: lowster11 on Jan 16, 2018 Answer: Following the Glorious Revolution of 1688, England tightened her imperial administration, providing a more coherent management and a corps of colonial bureaucrats.

Though known as a period of salutary neglect, this was actually an era when king and Parliament increased their control over colonial affairs. England asked her colonies to share in the costs of defending and extending the empire and to tailor their behavior to the needs of the home country.
