Answer:

The petition right was intended to prevent the monarch from imposing peacetime martial law, imprisoning citizens without precise cause and raising taxes without the consent of the Parliament.

  • The 1628 petition of extensive privileges conveyed to King Charles I is one of England's most famous constitutional documents.
  • It was a civil liberties declaration in which several specific allegations of alleged breaches of the fundamental law by the monarch were equally fabricated.
  • Official recognition of four moral values was justly demanded by the amended petition. It typically included the raising of taxes only to be accepted by Parliament.
  • Further, it also included no incarceration without ample justification, no quartering of soldiers on subjects, and no martial law to be typically imposed in peacetime.
