Document Summary
Medieval europe - 5 knights case: forced loans. These members protested against this practice and were arrested for trying to defy the king. 50 years before john locke, the famous english philosopher who stated naturally, inalienable rights like liberty and property. If you have those rights, you have human rights and so forth. The sayings/rules: no forced loans, gift, or tax. I shouldn"t have to give my own assets/wealth: no arbitrary arrest. People can be arrested, but the state must justify the arrest with a just cause: no soldiers/sailors taken in without consent. Without consent you can"t take them in: marshall law never to be used again towards civilians. In 1628 as charles is poor and desperate, he signs the petition of right even though he doesn"t really believe in it. He"s upset because the amount of money parliament did fork over was rather nice.
