7 jun 1628 ano - The Petition of Right is Signed

Descrição:

The Petition of Right is signed from Parliament to King Charles 1 to complain about a series of breaches of the law. Parliament called for no taxation without Parliamentary review, no unjust imprisonment, no quartering soldiers on subjects, and no martial law during times of peace. This document limited the power of the central government and emphasized the importance of citizens rights. It forbade the King from infringing on certain rights, which can be seen in the American Constitution because, in the Constitution, the colonists forbids England from infringing upon inalienable rights of the colonists.
