1 juin 1642 - Nineteen Propositions, England

Description:

sent to King Charles I of England, who was in York at the time.[2] In these demands, the Long Parliament sought a larger share of power in governance of the kingdom. Among the MPs’ proposals was Parliamentary supervision of foreign policy and responsibility for the defence of the country, as well as making the King’s ministers accountable to Parliament.[3][4] Before the end of the month the King rejected the Propositions and in August the country descended into civil war which would pit the Cavaliers (royalists) vs. the roundheads (parliamentarians).
