English Petition of Rights
It was intended to bring justice, peace, and fairness to England because King Charles I abused his authority. It wasn't successful the first try, which lead to a harder fight for rightfulness, however it was soon ratified and sent to the king for acceptance.
There were 4 main points !
- No taxes could be levied without Parliament's consent.
- No English subject could be imprisoned without cause--thus reinforcing the right of habeas corpus.
- No martial law may be used in peacetime.
- No quartering of soldiers in citizens homes.
Its Impact on the Development of the U.S Government
Today soldiers live in either barracks, which are assigned, or make shift quarters in which they share, depending on the place and/or mission.
