Petition of Right

A petition of right is a type of formal request used to ask for something from a powerful person or group. When you write a petition of right, you are asking the person or group to do something for you. For example, you might write a petition of right to the government asking them to change a law or put new programs into place. It is important for the person or group writing the petition to make sure that their request is legally valid and backed up by evidence. It is also important to remember that the person or group may not always agree to or be able to do as you ask.
