<P> The Petition of Right is a major English constitutional document that sets out specific liberties of the subject that the king is prohibited from infringing . Passed on 7 June 1628 , the Petition contains restrictions on non-Parliamentary taxation , forced billeting of soldiers , imprisonment without cause , and the use of martial law . Following disputes between Parliament and King Charles I over the execution of the Thirty Years ' War , Parliament refused to grant subsidies to support the war effort , leading to Charles gathering `` forced loans '' without Parliamentary approval and arbitrarily imprisoning those who refused to pay . Moreover , the war footing of the nation led to the forced billeting of soldiers within the homes of private citizens , and the declaration of martial law over large swathes of the country . </P>
