The Declaratory Act is the act that gave parliament the supreme control to govern the colonies. The reason parliament passed the stamp act was to raise money in the colonies to pay the costs of defending them.
The right of Parliament to pass laws in the colonies "in all cases whatsoever" was grounded in the principle of parliamentary sovereignty, which held that Parliament was the supreme legal authority in Britain and its colonies. This authority was asserted in the Declaratory Act of 1766, which accompanied the repeal of the Stamp Act, explicitly stating that Parliament had the right to legislate for the colonies in all matters. This claim was rooted in the belief that colonists were represented in Parliament through virtual representation, despite their lack of direct representation. However, this assertion fueled colonial discontent and resistance, ultimately contributing to the American Revolution.
