What was the declaratory act of 1766?

Answer 1

The Stamp Act Congress convened in New York in October 1765. The colonists were able to persuade Parliament to repeal the Stamp Act, but on that same day, Parliament also passed the Declaratory Act. This act proclaimed Parliament's ability "to bind the colonies in all cases whatsoever." The message was clear: Under no circumstances could Parliament abandon in principle its right to legislate for the 13 colonies. This right included taxation.

This act allowed Britian to govern and bind the colonies whenever and for what ever they wanted, without any repercussions. When this was passed the colonialists became more angry and resistent toward England.

Answer 2

The Declaratory Act of 1766 accompanied the repeal of the Stamp Act. It asserted complete authority to make binding laws of the American Colonists "in all cases whatsoever." It was copied almost word for word from the Irish Declaratory Act, which placed Ireland in bondage to the crown. While many colonists celebrated the repeal of the Stamp Act, others perceived dangers in this new law. It was not repealed until 1864, even though Britain recognized independence of the colonies in 1783.
