Charter
Can 'charter' very simply be translated as 'written law'?
Top answer
I don't think so. It is a document created by some entity that has the power to do so (a government, an organization, a governing body) that creates a nation, a city, a corporation, a branch or affiliate of an organization, etc. It usually outlines the conditions under which the entity is founded and describes the rights and privileges that entity has.

- So, it is not the same thing as codified or written law.
