The Nineteen Propositions were a set of demands made on King Charles I of England by the English Parliament in 1642. They were designed to limit the powers of the crown and were sent to the King at York. Charles rejected the proposals on June 2, with the words "Nolumus Leges Angliae mutari" (We are unwilling to change the laws of England). Their rejection represented the beginning of the English Civil War
