Answer 1

C. Taxation without representation violated citizens' rights.

Step-by-step explanation:

The idea for which the Petition of Right most directly responsible for is "Taxation without representation violated citizens' rights."

This is because the Petition of Right 1628, which was made by the Parliament declared four principles which are:

1. No taxes may be levied without the consent of Parliament

2. No subject may be imprisoned without cause shown, that is reaffirmation of the right of habeas corpus.

3. No soldiers may be quartered upon the citizenry

4. Martial law may not be used in times of peace.
