What does taking away your charters mean in the declaration of independence?
Charters were like a contract. A King could grant a charter to a group of people, or just one person, to establish a colony in the name of Great Britain. There were certain terms that made up the charter and it was a legal document. Charters were also given to Joint Stock Companies, like the Virginia Company, which also established colonies to make money. Some charters granted the colonists political rights in their colonies. The Declaration claimed that the King was taking the legal charters away from the colonists, thus making them subject to the Crown rule without any representation in the government of the colony.
