The Stamp Act was actually passed before the Declaratory Act. The Stamp Act of 1765 was met with strong opposition in the American colonies, leading to its repeal in 1766. The Declaratory Act was passed immediately after the repeal of the Stamp Act, asserting Parliament's authority over the colonies "in all cases whatsoever."
