b.The monarch could expand his or her territory into new lands without the cost or risk required to set up a colony.

Charters were business ventures and the cost and maintenance of the settlement is up to the business.

Monarchs investing in a charter allowed them to expand their empire and bring wealth into the country with little investment. The monarch acted as an investor while the company set up a means of making money. If the settlement failed was successful, the monarchy would profit but if it failed the money lost was felt most by the company.

How did the practice of using enslaved workers support the Southern economy?
Gelneren [198K]
People in the south used slaves because their economy was focussed on things like cash crops (tobacco, cotton, etc.) These crops required a lot of work so farmers and plantation owners could not do it by themselves. So by using enslave persons they could harvest more crops, sell more, make more money, and in return boost the southern economy.
