Due to Britain's continued conflicts with the French, English economy was in shambles. So they decided to earn some money from the colonies in the form of acts. These acts include the Stamp Act, Sugar Act, etc.

But to answer your question more specifically, it was the Declaratory Act that granted the English Parliament full control of the colonies.
