Chapter 6: The state of relations in 1629

• Blind spots in the Petition of Right?

  It did not explicitly address impositions or Charles' right to collect tonnage and poundage, which meant that Charles continued to exploit these methods of income. Additionally, the document did not condemn Charles' anti-Calvinism
• Charles' reply to the Petition of Right?

  Initially, Charles did not use a royal assent on the bill, and he told the royal printer to deface the statute number of the document, making the petition's legality dubious. These actions made Charles appear untrustworthy
• The Three Resolutions?

  Just as Parliament was about to be dissolved in 1629, radical MPs forced the Speaker of the House to pass the Three Resolutions, which condemned the king's conduct surrounding Arminianism and tonnage and poundage
