Explanation:

The Petition of Right (1628) was a re - assertion of the rights of Parliament and the people. The Magna Carta (1215) had established certain principles like the rule of law and limitations on the monarch's power. The Petition of Right built on these ideas. It was not an override (as the Magna Carta was still a foundational document), not a contradiction (as it shared similar goals of limiting royal power), and not a revision (it was more of a reinforcement). It reinforced the Magna Carta by further emphasizing rights such as no taxation without Parliament's consent and protection from arbitrary imprisonment.

Answer:

The Petition of Right reinforces the Magna Carta.
