Colonists reacted to the Declaratory Act of 1766 with a mix of resentment and defiance. While they welcomed the repeal of the Stamp Act, the Declaratory Act, which asserted Parliament's authority to legislate for the colonies "in all cases whatsoever," was seen as a direct threat to their autonomy. Many colonists viewed it as a reaffirmation of British control, igniting further resistance and contributing to the growing sentiment for independence. This act intensified the ideological divide between the colonies and Britain, laying the groundwork for future conflicts.
Colonists disliked the declaratory act because they didn't get a say in what taxes to pass and which taxes not to pass.
Parliament agreed to repel the Stamp Act on one condition, the colonists had to agree to the Declaratory Act being passed, which gave Parliament full power and authority to make and pass laws. The colonists happily accepted, glad to be free of the Stamp Act and many ignored the Declaratory Act, despite their agreement.
