		Towns were often "free", in the sense that they were directly protected by the king or emperor, and were not part of a feudal fief.
		In monarchies, the charters is still often a royal charter given by the Crown or the state authorities acting on behalf of the Crown.
		In the United States, such charters are established either directly by a state legislature by means of local legislation, or indirectly under a general municipal corporation law, usually after the proposed charter has passed a referendum vote of the affected population.

	Portsmouth Herald Editorial: York town charter gives the people the final word
		The action is necessary because the York Budget Committee, by not even allowing the town to vote on the proposal, ignored the feeling of a large group of voters who want to protect open space.
		That is in direct conflict with the concept of the town's home-rule charter.
		It wasn't the Open Space Committee that let the people down, it was four members of the Budget Committee who forgot that the town's charter, under which they are supposed to be operating, is meant to give the final word on these kinds of issues to the people.

	North Andover:First steps being taken to review town charter
		An informational meeting last week at Town Hall took some residents by surprise when they showed up to have a discussion about the town government and saw people leaving with petitions - the first step in a long process of deciding whether the town wants to change its form of government.
		From what she has seen over five years attending town meetings, she doesn't think enough people have the time to devote to researching the issues, or even to attend the meetings.
		If the petition gets the question on the ballot, either this March or a year from this March, and passes, the charter commission will take at least 18 months to study the issue and come up with a recommendation that ultimately goes to a townwide vote.
