Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

It is TRUE that The right of the subjects to petition the king and all commitments and prosecutions for such petitioning are illegal.

This is evident in the Declaration of Rights 1689 made in England to limit the power of the Crown during the reign of King James II.

In the 5th clause among the 13 clauses limiting the power of the Crown, it is stated that "The citizens have the right to petition the king without fear of repercussions. That it is the right of the subjects to petition the king, and all commitments and prosecutions for such petitioning are illegal."
