The Flexible response was a policy implemented by President John F. Kennedy in 1961 in order to substitute the New Look and the massive retaliation policy that Dwight Eisenhower's had introduced, which consisted on responding using a greater force in case of an attack, and such force involved nuclear weapons.
On the other hand, the flexible response policy aknowledges the Mutual assured destruction if nuclear weapons are involved, as the enemy with shoot back too. It aimed to provide a manner of responding to agression across the spectrum of war but without the employment of nuclear weapons.

In 1763, Britain was in debt as a result of the Seven Year's War. In an attempt to pay this, and obtain more money for troops, the Crown imposed on the 13 colonies a series of laws and taxes.
People resented and rejected them actively, through protests and riots, because they thought that was just the introduction to worse, more controlling policies in the future, and they weren't willing to let that happen.
Some of the Acts were:
- <em>The Sugar Act</em> (1764)
- <em>The Currency Act</em> (1764)
- <em>The Stamp Act</em> (1765)
- <em>The Townshend Act</em> (1767)
- <em>The Tea Act</em> (1773)
- <em>The Coercive </em>or<em> Intolerable Acts</em> (1774)
Answer:
The policy of 'Salutary Neglect' lasted from the early 1600's to the 1760's and avoided strict enforcement of parliamentary laws - British officials in the colonies were basically allowed to turn a 'blind eye' to trade violations - they neglected to enforce the law.
After the revolutionary war, most states, especially those in the south, developed new slave codes. after the 1830s these laws became increasingly stringent, due to the tensions produced by the Nat Turner Rebellion in southampton county, VA., and the rise of the abolitionist movement in the north. hope this helps
