The Petition of Right (1628) maintained that the King could pass no new tax without the consent of Parliament. It also limited the King's power to imprison people without cause and forced him to abide by due process of law. While it did not make the English monarchy purely ceremonial, it did help to establish the principle of parliamentary sovereignty, which limited the power of the monarch.
