A city charter or town charter generically, municipal charter is a legal document 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 Bourgeoisie 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 Fiefdom fief .

Havana Charter was the charter of the defunct International Trade Organization ITO . It was signed by 53 countries on March 24, 1948. It allowed for international cooperation and rules against anti competitive business practices. The charter ultimately failed because the Congress of the United States rejected it. Elements of it would later become part of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade GATT . The charter, proposed by John Maynard Keynes , was to establish the ITO and a financial institution called the International Clearing Union ICU , and an international currency the bancor . The Havana Charter institutions were to stabilize trade by encouraging nations to net zero, with trade surplus and trade deficit both discouraged. This negative feedback was to be accomplished by allowing nations overdraft equal to half the average value of the country s trade over the preceding five years, with interest charged on both surplus and deficit.

For the trading companies, charters vested the powers of government in the company in England. The officers would determine the administration, laws, and ordinances for the colony, but only as conforming to the laws of England. Proprietary charters gave governing authority to the proprietor, who determined the form of government, chose the officers, and made laws, subject to the advice and consent of the freemen.

A charter city is a city in which the governing system is defined by the city s own charter document rather than by state, provincial, regional or national laws. In locations where city charters are allowed by law, a city can adopt or modify its organizing charter by a majority vote of its resident citizens What about cities that require super majorities, or ones that are governed by oligarchies? . A charter gives a city s residents the flexibility to choose any kind of government structure allowed by law. Examples For example, in California , cities which have not adopted a charter are organized by state law. Such a city is called a General Law City , which will be managed by a 5 member city council. A city organized under a charter may choose different systems, including the strong mayor or city manager forms of government. ref cite web title Charter Cities publisher League of California Cities date 2007 05 09 url http www.cacities.org chartercities accessdate 2008 04 17 ref ref cite web title California Government Code, Title 4 Government of Cities, Chapter 2 Classification publisher California State of California url http www.leginfo.ca.gov cgi bin displaycode?section gov&group 34001 35000&file 34100 34102 accessdate 2008 04 17 ref A charter city may have some exemptions from some state or provincial laws, which varies entirely from region to region.
