The British Declaratory Act of 1766 was passed by the British Parliament following the repeal of the Stamp Act. It affirmed Parliament's authority to legislate for the American colonies "in all cases whatsoever," asserting British sovereignty over colonial affairs. This act was intended to reinforce Britain's control and clarify that the colonies were subordinate to British law, which further inflamed tensions between the colonies and Britain, ultimately contributing to the American Revolution.
