-The right for a prisoner to know the reason for his incarceration was included in the Petition of Rights
-The Petition of Rights prohibited the involuntary quartering of troops.

I think this is a good link because if someone that doesn't know anything about the subject reads it he would understand it because he wrote what the problem was. When you read it you would find it quite interesting so a reader would read the whole thing. I would think this is a reliable source because in other websites they state the same idea.
Here are three reasons of why The Petition of Rights were important:
1. It limited the kings power which made him less powerfull and the citzens more powerful.
2. This agreement was denied by the king at first but then the commons forced him to sign it.
3. If the king was to make a new rule it would’ve had to go through the consent of the Parliament. by Nov 28

This is a good website because it gives fact, details, pictures and relate able examples. One of Mr. Meyer’s criteria for a good website is that if the author was’nt proud enough of the website to post their name, is it completely reliable or honest; probably not.
Three reasons why the Petition of Rights was important:
The Petition for bayed the king from instantaneous power and soldiers.
The Petition stated that the king could not call for extra taxes unless the lords of that region specifically agreed.
King Charles denied the Petition at first, but the commons for the first time pressed the matter against the king. by Nov 28

Petition of Right, 1628, a statement of civil liberties sent by the English Parliament to Charles I . Refusal by Parliament to finance the king's unpopular foreign policy had caused his government to exact forced loans and to quarter troops in subjects' houses as an economy measure. Arbitrary arrest and imprisonment for opposing these policies had produced in Parliament a violent hostility to Charles and George Villiers, 1st duke of Buckingham. The Petition of Right, initiated by Sir Edward Coke , was based upon earlier statutes and charters and asserted four principles: no taxes may be levied without consent of Parliament; no subject may be imprisoned without cause shown (reaffirmation of the right of habeas corpus); no soldiers may be quartered upon the citizenry; martial law may not be used in time of peace. In return for his acceptance (June, 1628), Charles was granted subsidies.
Petition of Right
This is a good website because it’s really simple, sweet and short. It’s easy to read and understand. I might have to get a secondary source since this doesn't look very reliable.
This is secondary source because it's not the orginial document and the information was taken from other websites because there's credit.

2. Limited the King’s power and gave more power to the common people
3. Soon after it was issued the king disobeyed and ignored it and upset many people by Nov 28

Primary Source-Internet History Sourcebooks
Modern History Sourcebook: The Bill of Rights, 1689This is a really good website because it was written by the Fordham University which is a really good university in New York. The website is from one of the pages in the Modern History Sourcebook also made by the Fordham University. This website is also good because it says the date and where the English Bill of Rights was made (England-1689) and because it says the rules and laws written in the English Bill of Rights. This website is also a primary source because it says everything written in the English Bill of Rights.
The English Bill of Rights:
1)Was signed by Charles I
2)States that the Monarchs arent allowed to have an army when the country isnt in war.
3)The citizens are allowed to vote for the people in the parliament. by Nov 29
I think that this website is really good because it has very good information and is from a college. There are a few problems with this source, it is a primary source, and has all kinds of CRAZY words! It also is hard to understand. It is good because the information is really exact. I guess that if you were in college (what this site is for) you could probably understand it better.
•1. That the pretended power of suspending laws, or the execution of laws, by regal authority, without consent of parliament is illegal.
•2. That the pretended power of dispensing with the laws, or the execution of law by regal authority, as it hath been assumed and exercised of late, is illegal.
•3. That the commission for erecting the late court of commissioners for ecclesiastical causes, and all other commissions and courts of like nature, are illegal and pernicious.
Three facts.

Bill of Rights, 1689, in British history, one of the fundamental instruments of constitutional law. It registered in statutory form the outcome of the long 17th-century struggle between the Stuart kings and the English Parliament. Its principles were accepted by William III and Mary II in the Declaration of Rights as a condition for ascending the throne after the revolution in which James II was dethroned (1688).This website is a good website because though it is short, the website has interesting infromation about the history of the document that is known as the English Bill of Rights. For instance, three facts that the website states about the document are:
1. It is fundamental to the British constitutional government
2. William the third and Mary the second were the first monarchs with the Bill of Rights after King James the second was dethroned because of a revolution.
3. The English Bill of Rights states that Englishmen have certain rights that are automatic and cannot be infringed upon.
