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 . Today the process for granting charters 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 state authorities acting on behalf of the Crown.
