Explanation:
- The "Petition of Right", passed on 7th June in the year 1628, is an English "constitutional document" setting out "specific individual protections" against "the state", which was supposedly equal value to the "Bill of Rights 1689' & the "Magna Carta"
- In 1627, Charles I enforced "forced loans" and detained, without trial, those who refused to pay, after several disputes with parliament about the payment of taxes. The martial law, which obliged private citizens to cook, clothe and shelter soldiers and sailors, was enforced in the year 1628.
- This meant that the king & state, without having to explain it, would strip away any person's property or rights. It brought together opposition at all levels of society, particularly those elements on which the monarchy relied for financial support, tax collection, administration, etc.
- Four 'Resolutions' had been established by a Commons Committee which declared each unconstitutional and reaffirmed the Magna Carta and habeas corpus. Previously, Charles relied on the "House of Lords" to support the Commons, however their readiness to work together persuaded him to approve the petition. It was a new step in the constitutional crisis, when those in both Chambers became adamant that neither he nor his ministers trusted in interpreting the legislation.
The Petition of Right that was initiated by "Sir Edward Coke", was based on previous charters & letters and asserted the 4 principles:
- No tribute could be "imposed" without the "Parliament's consent"
- No subject could be "imprisoned" without good reason
- No soldier could be "quartered" in the "homes of citizens"
- "Martial Law" cannot be used in "peacetime".
