The purpose of the British Declaratory Act of 1766 was to proclaim the right of Britain to pass laws regulating the colonies. The correct option in regards to the question given is option "D". This act was also known as The American Colonies Act 1766. This act gave the British parliament the full authority to pass any laws they deemed fit to bind the colonies and also tax them in any way possible. This Act was totally against the people living in the colonies. Several colonies were against this Act and they started protesting as soon as the act was passed or tried to be implemented.
