Question

Which act asserted Parliament's right to legislate for the colonies "in all cases whatsoever"?

Answer 1

The act that asserted Parliament's right to legislate for the colonies "in all cases whatsoever" is the Declaratory Act of 1766. This act was passed by the British Parliament following the repeal of the Stamp Act and was intended to affirm Parliament's authority over the American colonies, reinforcing the notion that the British government had the right to make laws governing the colonies without their consent.
