18 mars 1766 - Declaratory Act
Description:
Description: Was a declaration by the British Parliament that hardened its principles by asserting its complete authority to make laws binding on the American colonies "in all cases whatsoever."Causes: The Declaratory Act came in as the Stamp Act was repealed. British insensitivity to American political maturity and relationship of being a growing empire led to a desire to better control the colonies.
Historical Impact: The British Parliament's policies became more suppressive and restricting, leading the rising alarm among the colonies that this was a threat to their well-established colonial institutions of self-government.
