What were the results of the Decletory Act?

The Declaratory Act of 1766 asserted that the British Parliament had the right to legislate for the American colonies "in all cases whatsoever," effectively reaffirming its authority over them. While it aimed to quell colonial resistance following the repeal of the Stamp Act, it instead intensified tensions between Britain and the colonies. Colonists perceived it as an infringement on their rights, leading to increased calls for self-governance and contributing to the growing revolutionary sentiment. Ultimately, the Act highlighted the deepening divide between Britain and its American colonies.
