Charter colonies were unique in that they operated under a charter granted by the crown, allowing them a higher degree of self-governance compared to royal or proprietary colonies. They typically had their own elected legislatures and greater autonomy in managing local affairs. This system fostered a spirit of independence and encouraged democratic practices, setting them apart from colonies directly controlled by the monarchy or individual proprietors.
