I'll give brainliest to correct answer. good luck, and you! in 1766, the british parliament passed the declaratory act to impose a new tax on the colonists. insist it had the right to tax colonists. create punishments for nonpayment of taxes. establish new tax-collection measures.

The Declaratory Act was passed to reinforce the fact that Britain had the same authority in America and the colonies as they had in Britain. 
It was passed to insist that Britain had the right to tax the colonists, so the answer is B.

Hope this helps!!!
