Answer:

The Petition of Right of 1628 contained four main points:

  • No taxes could be levied without Parliament's consent.
  • No English subject could be imprisoned without cause - thus reinforcing the right of habeas corpus
  • No quartering of soldiers in citizens homes
  • No martial law may be used in peacetime
