Question 4 • Menter Hartman WORLD HIST 1A (Centralized)

What did the Petition of Right achieve?

Answer
A
It increased the power of the monarchy.
B
It increased tensions with France and Spain.
C
It limited the power of the monarchy.
D
It limited Parliament’s power to impose taxes.

Explanation

The Petition of Right, presented to Charles I in 1628, challenged abuses of royal authority. It established that the king could not levy taxes without Parliament’s consent and restricted practices such as imprisoning people without cause. These limits on the king’s authority meant it limited the power of the monarchy, rather than Parliament’s power.
