Right to petition
The
right to petition government for redress of grievances
is the
right
to make a complaint to, or seek the assistance of, one's
government
, without fear of punishment or reprisals. The Article 44 of the
Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union
ensures the right to petition to the
European Parliament
. The right can be traced back to the
Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany
, the
Bill of Rights 1689
, the
Petition of Right (1628)
, and the
Magna Carta (1215)
.
