A chartered company is an association formed by investors or shareholders for the purpose of trade, exploration, and colonization.
The East India Company evolved from a small enterprise run by a group of City of London merchants, which in 1600 had been granted a royal charter conferring the monopoly of English trade in the whole of Asia and the Pacific.
The company received a Royal Charter from Queen Elizabeth I on 31 December 1600, coming relatively late to trade in the Indies.
The East India Company was established in 1600 as a joint-stock company with a monopoly of the trade to and from the East Indies. Its political achievements form a large part of the history of the British Empire, and its economic power was enormous, contributing substantially to the national wealth and causing the company to be the centre of most of the economic controversies of the 17th century. The company ended up seizing control over large parts of the Indian subcontinent, colonized parts of Southeast Asia, and colonized Hong Kong after a war with China.
By 1803, at the height of its rule in India, the British East India company had a private army of about 260,000—twice the size of the British Army, with Indian revenues of £13,464,561, and expenses of £14,017,473. The company eventually came to rule large areas of India with its private armies, exercising military power and assuming administrative functions. Company rule in India effectively began in 1757 and lasted until 1858, when, following the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the Government of India Act 1858 led to the British Crown's assuming direct control of the Indian subcontinent in the form of the new British Raj.

Increase of crops due to new innovations with the farming technique is one that comes to mind, not very sure about other factors though, sorry
Answer:
Explanation:
The meaning of democracy – from the Greek word – demokratia – is “rule by the people”. As a system of government, it is now almost universally commended. To describe a country, or a policy, as “undemocratic” is to criticise it and those countries that are undemocratic are continually urged towards reform.
Yet, democracy is a complex and contested notion. Moreover, until relatively recently, the idea of rule by the people was as much (if not more) feared as loved. The ancient Greek philosopher Plato, for example, related democracy to the rule of unbridled and untutored passions over cool and reflective reason. Invoking a now common image of the ship of state, Plato asks whether a real ship in stormy waters is sensibly governed by a trained captain who has knowledge of seamanship and navigation or by the crew who have no specialist training. This seems a good question, and although such views are no longer part of the currency of intellectual thought, democrats continue to worry about the role of civic education, for example, in moulding a population so that its members do not just rule, but rule by informed decision making.
Answer: option (B) the assimilation of American Indians would improve their lives.
Explanation: The primary belief of the Americanization movement was to get the native Americans ( American Indians) to give up their cultural ways and to adapt to the American way of living. Americanization is the process of an immigrant to the United State becoming a person who shares American values, beliefs, and customs by assimilating into American society. Americanization is regarded negative because it advances American cultural values at the cost of one’s own cultural notion of the good. That is Americanization removes the ability to appreciate cultural diversity.
