Answer:

England wanted to repeal the Stamp Act because of taxation. They repealed the Stamp Act and passed the Declaratory Acts which gave the British government free and total power over American colonies. It taught the colonists that the same people who taxed them and later removed the Stamp Act were the ones with absolute power over them.
