Why did the parliament force the monarchs to sign the petition of right

charles i firmly embraced the idea of divine right. divine right meant that the monarch had been given the right to rule by god and that he didn't have to answer to anyone. although his foreign policies were also wildly unpopular, he believed he could rule purely by royal prerogative, which meant that the power of the monarch could be used without the consent of the representative government. therefore, in order to side-step objections by parliament and gain the funding he desired, charles i began enforcing a policy of forced loans. under this policy, the ministers and representatives of charles i forcibly took money from the citizens and called it a loan to the crown.
