Nineteen Propositions : ウィキペディア英語版 | Nineteen Propositions
On the 1st of June 1642, the English Lords and Commons sent a list of proposals known as the Nineteen Propositions to King Charles I of England, in York at the time. In what resembled a list of demands, the Long Parliament effectively sought a larger share of power in governance of the kingdom. Among the MPs’ proposals was Parliamentary supervision of foreign policy and responsibility for the defense of the country, as well as making the King’s ministers accountable to Parliament.〔Plant, David (The Nineteen Propositions )〕〔(British Civil Wars & Commonwealth website ) Retrieved 3 March 2010〕 Before the end of the month the King rejected the Propositions and in August the country descended into civil war. == Contents ==
The opening paragraph of the Nineteen Propositions introduces the document as a petition which Charles, in his "princely wisdom," will be "pleased to grant."〔Text of the Nineteen Propositions (Wikisource) 53. The Nineteen Propositions sent by the two Houses of Parliament to the King at York〕 The propositions follow in nineteen numbered points: It concluded "And these our humble desires being granted by your Majesty, we shall forthwith apply ourselves to regulate your present revenue in such sort as may be for your best advantage; and likewise to settle such an ordinary and constant increase of it, as shall be sufficient to support your royal dignity in honour and plenty, beyond the proportion of any former grants of the subjects of this kingdom to your Majesty's royal predecessors."〔Sources and Debates in English History〕
