Confirmation Of ChartersThe Confirmation of Charters was issued by King Edward I of England in 1297. In the Confirmation, Edward reaffirmed Magna Carta and the Forest Charter. The Confirmation is most important today, however, because Edward I formally acknowledged parliament's duty to approve all new taxes. This essentially stripped the monarchy of its royal right to tax as it pleased. Parliament effectively became a "second branch" or "second level" of government.
