The American Colonies Act 1766 (6 Geo. III c 12), commonly known as the Declaratory Act, was an Act of the Parliament of Great Britain which accompanied the repeal of the Stamp Act 1765 and the amendment of the Sugar Act. Parliament repealed the Stamp Act because boycotts were hurting British trade and used the declaration to justify the repeal and save face. The declaration stated that the Parliament's authority was the same in America as in Britain and asserted Parliament's authority to pass laws that were binding on the American colonies.

  • A Lei Declaratória (em inglês: American Colonies Act 1766, comumente conhecido como Declaratory Act), foi uma lei do Parlamento da Grã-Bretanha que acompanhou a revogação do Lei do selo de 1765 e a mudança e diminuição do Lei do Açúcar. O Parlamento revogou a Lei do Selo porque os boicotes estavam prejudicando o comércio britânico e usou a declaração para justificar a revogação e salvar as aparências. A declaração afirmava que a autoridade do Parlamento era a mesma na América e na Grã-Bretanha e afirmava a autoridade do Parlamento para aprovar leis que eram obrigatórias para as colônias americanas.

März 1766 fest, dass es selbstverständlich und grundsätzlich das Recht habe, Gesetze auch für die amerikanischen Kolonien zu erlassen und zwar in jeder Hinsicht ("in all cases whatsoever"). Der Declaratory Act sollte die Autorität des britischen Parlaments stärken und die Kolonien in Nordamerika stärker an dessen Gesetzgebung binden. Er wurde allerdings in der Folge von den Kolonien wenig beachtet. Siehe auch: * Townshend Acts * Boston Tea Party * Amerikanische Unabhängigkeitserklärung * Amerikanischer Unabhängigkeitskrieg (de)
