 John E. Wolfgram: How the Judiciary Stole the Right to Petition
In substantive Petition Clause cases, the right to that due process regularity is also a Petition Clause right because Congress may not abridge access to the courts for substantive Petition Clause purposes with special procedural requirements.
Effective Rights is the Hallmark of Civilization : The argument that the Right of Petition includes the right of use the compulsory process of law against government to redress grievances with it does not depend on any particular idea of the common law or of history.
That is to petition the government for redress through the courts.

 Right of Petition -- Time to Sign
The right to Petition is the foundation of Popular Sovereignty and is the direct vehicle for the peaceful, non-violent resolution of matters concerning violations of right, law and limited governance.
In 1791, the right to petition became the primary right of the People of the United States of America, expressed in the First Amendment to the federal Constitution.
Implicit in our first amendment constitutional right to petition our government for a redress of grievances, is the government's absolute moral and legal obligation to respond honestly and completely to the people's petition.

 Petition of Right on Encyclopedia.com
PETITION OF RIGHT [Petition of Right] 1628, a statement of civil liberties sent by the English Parliament to Charles I.
Although the petition was of importance as a safeguard of civil liberties, its spirit was soon violated by Charles, who continued to collect tonnage and poundage duties without Parliament's authorization and to prosecute citizens in an arbitrary manner.

 Petition of Right, Sir Edward Coke
Charles did not like the Petition of Right, but he accepted it because he knew of no other way to persuade Parliament to vote the funds he had demanded.
The petition declared unconstitutional certain actions of the king, such as levying taxes without the consent of Parliament, housing soldiers in homes, setting up martial law (military government), and imprisoning citizens illegally.
The Petition exhibited to his Majesty by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, concerning divers Rights and Liberties of the Subjects, with the King's Majesty's royal answer thereunto in full Parliament.

 Keep and Bear Arms - Gun Owners Home Page - 2nd Amendment Supporters
However, the petition is addressed to Attorney General Ashcroft because he has gone on record saying the Second Amendment is an individual right, and he oversees the federal agency that is tasked with enforcing civil rights laws.
Do not be misled by the Petition's references to California - the infringements in California are being focused on because of this state's particular legal situation, as outlined in the Petition itself.
Again, the Petition has the potential to affect ALL Americans by setting a precedent and/or initiating a U.S. Supreme Court case.

 The Right to Ride Petition
This is not right, nor is it fair, but it is the way it is. Some of our fellow Maritimers would have us lock up all public lands so that only those who are able to access public lands by foot would be allowed the privilege of doing so.
Take the opportunity to sign this petition and inform local government of your desire to have access to the properties under their management, and specifically with the concern of allowing access with ATV’s, dirt bikes, and other OHV's.
The point is that no single citizen has the right to abuse or destroy public or private lands.

 Amendment V: Controversy over Petition of Right
I find in the country the Petition of Right printed indeed, but with an Answer that never gave any satisfaction: I desire a committee may consider thereof, and present it to the house, and that the printer be sent for to give satisfaction to the house, by what warrant it was printed.
Selden and others should see if the Petition of Right and his majesty's Answer thereunto were inrolled in the Parliament rolls, and the Courts at Westminster, as his majesty sent them word the last session they should be; and also in what manner they were entered; which was done accordingly, and Mr.
The Commons sent a Message to the Lords, that they would join in an humble request to the king, that a clear and satisfactory Answer be given by his majesty in full parliament to the Petition of Right; whereunto the lords did agree.

 Citrus: Petition: civil right or uncivil wrong?
Like freedom of speech, the right to petition is protected by the First Amendment, which is the basis of the American Civil Liberties Union's assertion that Citrus County is violating the Constitution by prohibiting petition-signing in libraries.
Battista disagreed with that line of reasoning, saying Citrus County is only limiting place and manner - restrictions that have been legally tried and tested - and not citizens' right to petition.
And if they can't regulate the content of speech that would also include the right to petition."

It is worth noting that the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights specifically mandates that "the right to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED".
Pursuant to the constitutional right to keep and bear arms, the Southern Independence Party (www.siptn.org) has initiated a petition which calls for the Governor and legislature to formulate and pass legislation which will declare federal gun laws to be null and void here....and illegal under the Constitution.
Over the years, however, this fundamental constitutional right has been gradually eaten away by illegal federal firearms legislation.

 Sir Edward Coke, Petition of Right
He opposed Prince Charles's proposed Spanish marriage, took a part in drawing up the charges against Bacon and spoke in the great debate on the liberties of parliament (1621), spending nine months in prison as a result, but nothing was found that could incriminate him.
In 1628 it was his bill of liberties that ultimately took the form of the Petition of Right.
Admitting his changed views, Coke, at the age of 76, molded the ancient precedents, including Magna Carta, into a charter of liberty limiting the royal prerogatvie.
