The legal agreement that established the guidelines for starting Georgia was the Charter of 1732. This charter, granted by King George II of England, outlined the colony's purpose, governance, and regulations, including the prohibition of slavery and the requirement for landowners to provide defense for the colony. The charter aimed to create a buffer between the British colonies and Spanish Florida, as well as to provide a fresh start for debtors and the poor. It laid the foundation for Georgia's development and settlement.
