The British Declaratory Act of 1776 was enacted to affirm Parliament's authority over the American colonies following the repeal of the Stamp Act. Its primary purpose was to assert that the British government had the right to legislate for the colonies "in all cases whatsoever," thereby reinforcing its power and control. This act aimed to quell colonial resistance by clarifying that any future legislation would be enforced, despite the growing tensions leading up to the American Revolution.
