Did laws in Britain apply to the Thirteen Colonies?

British laws mostly applied in the Thirteen Colonies. Since the colonies were British territories and the colonists were, mostly, British citizens, the laws of Britain were applicable in the colonies. However, Britain did enact certain legislation that was specific to the colonies, and some legislation (such as the availability of the punishment of transportation) may not have been applicable to the colonies. In addition, the distance between Britain and the colonies as well as the mixing of of non-British individuals likely made it difficult to fully enforce British laws in all of the colonies.
While British laws would mostly have been applicable in the Thirteen Colonies, it is likely that there were some specific legislative differences. There is also a potentially large gap between what was legally applicable and what was pragmatically enforceable.
