The Declaratory Act was enacted in 1766, right after Parliament repealed the Stamp Act, the same day. The Declaratory Act was passed to make sure the colonies are still controlled by the King and Parliament. This law said that Parliament had supreme authority to govern the colonies, and the colonists could expect future taxes. As well as saying they (British Parliament) had authority to make new laws for the colonies in all cases- and would. Also saying that Parliament had no care for what the colonists said. The Declaratory Act made it impossible for any colonial assembly to pass any binding laws.

The Declaratory Acts basically just said that England had complete and total rule over the colonies. What they said went.

In reply to brent. "Brent, are you smarter then a (11th) Grader?!" Evidently not, even I knew that this act was passed in 1766. Dang boy. Also, idk if ya'll knew this (look at me, sounding all country and what not) but it was passed for "absolute and unqualified sovereignty over its North American colonies" But does anyone know what colonies this affected? Please help, I have an APUSH powerpoint I need to make with this information. Many thanks :)

Agreed. The stamp act was put into place in 1765, then later repealed after boycotts in 1766. That same year the Declaratory Acts were passed, and the Townshend Acts followed them in 1767.

In reply to brent. i believe that the declatory act was closely the same as the boston tea party. both of the acts were passed in 1995. both of the acts involved citizens throwing stuff into the harbour. i got this from him this is not right
