Iliana Graham · Answer 1

Monarch.

Explanation:

The Petition of right in 1628 was a statement that was sent to Charles I by the English Parliament on behalf of civil liberties. In this petition, the parliament neglected to finance detested Charles' foreign policy and declared that the king cannot charge any kind of tax without taking consent from the parliament, no martial law during peacetime, no imprisonment without having a justified reason. These declarations by the parliament for ensuring people's rights and clearly reveal that 'the petition of right' established that the law is supreme and above monarch.
