Answer:

King James II's act of assembling "a standing army ... and quartered soldiers" is a direct contradiction and opposition of what is legally right.

Explanation:

The Declaration of Rights was an open declaration that listed a litany of numerous 'sins' of King James II. The document listed the various unlawful practices and acts that the king had done which were detrimental and against the very basis of the kingdom during peacetime.

Article 6 of the Declaration stated that King James II allowed and organized a standing army without the consent of the Parliament. Moreover, this was done during peacetime, which was not legal and against the law that allows maintaining and keeping armies for monarchs.

So, in his act of keeping an army, King James II broke the law.
