On March 18, 1766, George III approved Parliament's repeal of the Stamp Act and its passage of the Declaratory Act.
A mere four months after its enactment, the Stamp Act was repealed on March 18, 1766. Yet, on the same day, the Declaratory Act passed, setting firmly in place Parliament's legal authority and supremacy over the colonies. Revere, P. (1766).
In the colonies, leaders had been glad when the Stamp Act was repealed, but the Declaratory Act was a new threat to their independence. It was 1766, and to most colonists, the ability of England to tax the colonies without giving them representation in Parliament was seen as disgraceful.

The Declaratory Act of 1766 declared that the British Parliament had the absolute right to tax colonies in North America. At first, the Act did not greatly upset the colonists; however, when the Townshend Acts of 1787 began limiting colonial assembly, colonists felt that the British government was acting tyrannical.
A declaratory judgment is “a binding adjudication that establishes the rights and other legal relations of the parties without providing for or ordering enforcement.” (Black Law Dictionary, 11th ed.)
The Great Rebellion of 1766, a short-lived outburst directed against the manor lords, was a symptom of the widespread discontent among the lower and middle classes. By contrast, Pennsylvania's governmental system was more open and responsive than that of any other colony in America.
A declaratory judgment is a binding judgment from a court defining the legal relationship between parties and their rights in a matter before the court. When there is uncertainty as to the legal obligations or rights between two parties, a declaratory judgment offers an immediate means to resolve this uncertainty.
In a criminal case, it's usually filed by the legal team representing the person accused of a crime. In a civil case, a motion for discovery is generally filed by the legal team of the person or business being sued.
