According to the English Bill of Rights, which was signed into law in 1689, English subjects were granted certain civil liberties and protections from the government. However, the Bill of Rights did not specifically address the ability of subjects to ask the king for help without fear of punishment.
That being said, the Bill of Rights did establish that the monarchy could not rule without the consent of Parliament and that subjects had the right to petition the king with grievances without fear of retribution. Additionally, the Bill of Rights established protections against arbitrary punishment, such as prohibiting excessive fines and bail.
Therefore, while the Bill of Rights did not explicitly address the ability of subjects to ask the king for help without fear of punishment, it did establish protections against arbitrary punishment and retaliation for exercising one's rights.
