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 Parliament repealed the Stamp Act because boycotts were hurting British trade and used the declaration to justify the repeal and save face.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.

- Der Declaratory Act ist eine Erklärung des Britischen Parlamentes aus dem Jahre 1766, welche mit der Außerkraftsetzung des Stempelsteuergesetzes ("Stamp Act") verbunden ist. Im Oktober 1765 trafen sich 27 Delegierte aus neun von den 13 Kolonien in New York, um gegen die ihnen verhassten britischen Gesetze vorzugehen. Im Rahmen des eskalierenden Konfliktes zwischen den britischen Kolonien in Amerika und Großbritannien hob das Britische Parlament jenes Stempelgesetz, unter anderem aufgrund zahlreicher Boykotts gegen britische Waren in Amerika, auf und stellte am 18. 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"). (de)

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:
