The Charter of Virginia, issued in 1606 by King James I of England, granted the Virginia Company the right to establish colonies in North America. It aimed to promote the settlement of the region, facilitate trade, and convert Indigenous peoples to Christianity. This charter laid the foundation for the establishment of Jamestown in 1607, the first permanent English settlement in America. It also outlined the governance structure and rights of the colonists, reflecting early attempts at self-rule.
