Detailed explanation-1: -Declaratory Act, (1766), declaration by the British Parliament that accompanied the repeal of the Stamp Act. It stated that the British Parliament’s taxing authority was the same in America as in Great Britain. Parliament had directly taxed the colonies for revenue in the Sugar Act (1764) and the Stamp Act (1765).
Detailed explanation-2: -The Declaratory Act, passed by Parliament on the same day the Stamp Act was repealed, stated that Parliament could make laws binding the American colonies “in all cases whatsoever."
Detailed explanation-3: -This act was passed to assert the authority of the British government to tax its subjects in North Americ after it repealed the much-hated Stamp Act.
Detailed explanation-4: -Reaction. Although many in Parliament felt that taxes were implied in this clause, other members of Parliament and many of the colonists-who were busy celebrating what they saw as their political victory-did not. Other colonists, however, were outraged because the Declaratory Act hinted that more acts would be coming.
