This is likely King John. In 1215 the Magna Carta was signed which limited the power of kings over his subjects. This granted people certain rights and is marked as the first point of this in English History.
Here's an excerpt from Wiki-pedia:
"Magna Carta Libertatum<span> (</span>Medieval Latin<span> for "the Great Charter of the Liberties"), commonly called </span>Magna Carta<span> (also </span>Magna Charta; "(the) Great Charter"),[a]<span> is a </span>charter<span> agreed to by </span>King John of England<span> at </span>Runnymede<span>, near </span>Windsor, on 15 June 1215.[b]<span>First drafted by the </span>Archbishop of Canterbury<span> to make peace between the unpopular King and a group of rebel </span>barons<span>, it promised the protection of church rights, protection for the barons from illegal imprisonment, access to swift justice, and limitations on </span>feudal<span> payments to </span>the Crown<span>, to be implemented through a council of 25 barons."</span>

1. The most important requests include;
a. The repeal of the statutes and regulations imposed by the King on the colonists.

2. The British American Colonists are seeking peaceful independence from the King's rule.
3. They speak respectfully of the King and the Parliament asserting their loyalty to his rule.
4. They seem to blame the King. This is because of his imposition of exorbitant taxes and levies ensuing from the Stamp Act on the people.
5. I would have considered their request for peace by inviting them to a meeting where their grievances would be discussed.
Explanation:
The Olive Branch Petition written by John Dickinson was drafted at a time when the colonists were seeking independence from the King. This was as a result of the sufferings they were made to undergo, stemming from the high taxes imposed on them to compensate the dwindling resources spent by the King in the war with France. They clearly wanted independence but without the consequence of war. They also were asserting loyalty to the King. This seemed like two requests that could be hardly granted at the same time.
King George III did not read the letters not to talk of granting the request for he already declared war on the colonists prior to the time when they tendered the letters.

Explanation:
Non-alignment was a policy developed by emerging 3rd world leaders in the 1950's. It was an attempt to avoid being particularly aligned with either of the two superpowers, the USA and Soviet Union in the context of The Cold War.
Countries such as Pakistan and India, along with others such as Ghana and Indonesia sought to play off both superpowers against each other as the Americans and Soviets sought to court these emerging countries in areas such as economic relations and strategic bases.
