Question

Which document said that all settlers in Jamestown had the same rights as the people in England?

A.
Jamestown Articles

B.
Virginia Charter

C.
Richmond Dispatch

D.
Mayflower Compact

Answer 1

Purpose of Charter
The charter contains only one statement of purpose, a religious mission: "propagating of Christian religion". King James also intended to spread Christianity to those already living in what was to become the English colonies. "in propagating of Christian Religion to such People, as yet live in Darkness and miserable Ignorance of the true Knowledge and Worship of God, and may in time bring the Infidels and Savages, living in those parts, to human Civility, and to a settled and quiet Government.[1] Some of the Jamestown[2] historians did not believe that the settlers were qualified to govern and achieve the King’s mission of colonization and obtaining access to the orient,[3]

The charter also granted those born in the colonies all the rights of British citizens elsewhere and that they be compensated and protected in case they were robbed or spoiled by anyone.
