Charter
Charter
Charter, document conferring rights or privileges on an individual or a group of people. The term originally applied to a written conveyance of land titles, often between private parties. In this sense the word now used is deed. The term charter is used to describe a grant of land or special privileges by the state, or a solemn guaranty by the sovereign of popular rights. The Magna Carta, or the Great Charter, issued by King John of England in 1215, is one of the primary constitutional documents of the United Kingdom. (1)
Charter, By-Laws
From the book The Clergyman’s Hand-book of Law, about Charter, By-Laws (1): The articles of organization or the charter which is the constitution of the corporation may provide who may be officers of a religious society and limit their authority. The constitution usually gives further authority to make by-laws which are binding on the officers as well as on the members.274
