why is that Declaratory act 1766 important?

Answer 1

The Declaratory Act, although often confused with the Stamp Act, is not the same thing as the Stamp Act.
The Stamp Act was passed in 1765 and required the purchase of stamps for almost everything, including letters, wills, and public documents. Opposition was so stiff to this Act, and so many people were boycotting, Britain repealed the Stamp Act in 1766.
Shortly thereafter, however, Britain issued the Declaratory Act of 1766 which stated that Parliament could take "whatever action they thought fit for the good of the empire." Colonists were so overjoyed at the repeal of the Stamp Act, however, they failed to see the importance of the Declaratory Act.
As a result of the Declaratory Act, British Parliament began issuing several Acts against the United States, and the U.S. could do virtually nothing against them, simply because Britain said that they were "for the good of the empire." After the Declaratory Act, Britain passed such acts as the Quartering Act of 1766, which required Americans to house British soldiers at their own expense, and the Townshend Acts, which taxed all imports into colonies.
The Declaratory Act of 1766 simply gave Britain the right to issue such following acts.

Answer 4

It was a tax that touched virtually every colonist. If you were married, bought land, sent mail, purchased goods, sold goods, wrote a will, etc. it required a stamp that was to be purchased from a royal appointee in cash. The cash part is 50% of the problem, as most colonists did not have cash readily available; the trade of one good for another was a the most common form of payment at the time. The other 50% is that there was no way to avoid the tax, it impacted every facet of life. Colonists knew that the only people who paid taxes in England were commoners and lower class "nothings". The middle and upper class paid almost no taxes at all, so to them, a tax was an insult.

Answer 5

Are you talking about the Stamp Act that required colonists to pay a tax on newspapers, legal and business documents? The colonists protested so strongly against "taxation without representation" that Parliament repealed the act in 1766. That is the only specific date , 1766, that something important happened prior to the adoption of the Declaration in 1776.
