charters

Grants of rights

Charters is the plural of charter—a document granting rights, privileges, or establishing an organization.

A city operates under its charter; a company has articles of incorporation that function similarly.

Charter also means to hire or lease: We chartered a boat for the day.

Charter schools operate under agreements with public authorities but with more autonomy than traditional schools.
