1 point
Petition of Right
Magna Carta
English Bill of Right
Declaration of Independence
The correct answer is the Petition of Right.
The document that was presented to King Charles I before the English Civil War, restating the rights of the English, is the Petition of Right.
The correct answer is the "Petition of Right." To arrive at this answer, we can eliminate the other options first.
The "Magna Carta" was a document presented to King John in 1215 and established certain rights and liberties for English subjects, but it was not directly presented to King Charles I.
The "English Bill of Rights" was passed in 1689, after the English Civil War, to limit the powers of the monarch and ensure the rights of Parliament. So, it also does not match the given timeframe.
The "Declaration of Independence" is a document adopted by the American Colonies in 1776, declaring their independence from Great Britain. It is unrelated to the English Civil War and King Charles I.
That leaves us with the "Petition of Right." The Petition of Right was presented to King Charles I in 1628, before the English Civil War, and sought to reaffirm the rights of English subjects. Therefore, the correct answer is the "Petition of Right."
