When Parliament repealed the Stamp Act in 1766, it simultaneously passed the Declaratory Act. This act asserted Parliament's authority to legislate for the American colonies "in all cases whatsoever," reaffirming its right to govern and tax the colonies despite the repeal of the Stamp Act. The Declaratory Act was significant as it laid the groundwork for ongoing tensions between Britain and the colonies over issues of autonomy and taxation.
