A. Taxation is not permitted without Parliament's permission

Explanation:

"Petition of Right" was framed by the parliament of United Kingdom in 1628, and it is sent to King Charles. This Petition of Right was framed to complain about his interruption on people civil rights.

The Petition of Right was formulated with the following four principles:

i) no taxation without the consent of Parliament

ii) no imprisonment without cause

iii) no quartering of soldiers on subjects

iv) no martial law in peacetime

During the rule of King Charles, the English people faced major intrusion on their civil rights. Thus the parliament stepped forward to avoid this kind of act and made this Petition of Rights.
