Explanation

The Petition of Right, presented to King Charles I in 1628, challenged abuses of royal authority. It affirmed that the king could not imprison people without cause, impose taxes without Parliament’s consent, or impose martial law arbitrarily. These limits curtailed the monarchy’s power, so the correct choice is “It limited the power of the monarchy.”
