What is a city charter, and what is its purpose

History
1 answer:
Rzqust [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A city charter or town charter (generically, municipal charter) is a legal document (charter) establishing a municipality such as a city or town. The concept developed in Europe during the Middle Ages.

Traditionally the granting of a charter gave a settlement and its inhabitants the right to town privileges under the feudal system. Townspeople who lived in chartered towns were burghers, as opposed to serfs who lived in villages. Towns were often "free", in the sense that they were directly protected by the king or emperor, and were not part of a feudal fief.

Today the process for granting is determined by the type of government of the state in question. In monarchies, charters are still often a royal charter given by the Crown or the authorities acting on behalf of the Crown. In federations, the granting of charters may be within the jurisdiction of the lower level of government such as province.

I NEED HELP ASAP!! I need a paragraph on Greek literature for my word document.
umka2103 [35]
Greek literature focused mainly on mythology, science, math, and philosophy. Many famous philosophical stories came from the Greeks and Romans. For example plato and Socrates. There was also a lot of important scientific discovery’s in that time! Such as Aristotle who founded zoology!
So most of Greek literature was focused on three things, education, religion, and philosophy.

What issues do you think are going to the surface because of the Articles of Confederation
aalyn [17]

The major downfall of the Articles of Confederation was simply weakness. The federal government, under the Articles, was too weak to enforce their laws and therefore had no power. The Continental Congress had borrowed money to fight the Revolutionary War and could not repay their debts

How did nationalism affect the foreign affairs of the United States
Jobisdone [24]
Nationalism-the loyalty and devotion to one's nation. 
For one, people in America were like "lets go to war with Britain" which spurred the War of 1812. So if that's any correlation to how it affected foreign affairs, there ya go. 
Our foreign affairs were affected because we were proud to be Americans. We got more active in conflicts and defended our country and its people mainly due to agrarianism (You'll probably learn about that in US History in HS), which was the belief Thomas Jefferson had that if people owned land, they would fight for this country. 
To really answer your question, we were on and off friends with our foreign comrades. We went to war as a result, and established our power in the world.
