The Declaratory Act, passed by the British Parliament in 1766, asserted its authority to legislate for the American colonies "in all cases whatsoever." This act was enacted alongside the repeal of the Stamp Act and aimed to reaffirm British control over colonial affairs. It emphasized that Parliament had the right to make laws and impose taxes on the colonies, which fueled colonial resentment and resistance, ultimately contributing to the growing desire for independence.
