The American Revolution?

Question

Please give the answer to me the SHORTEST you can..

Why was it important that the Massachusetts charter be with the leaders of the new colony and not in england?

Answer 1

So the colonies could govern themselves; England wouldn't interfere.  Eventually the charter became the constitution of the colony.  

Answer 2

The charter is only effective if it is with the people to whom it is granted.  Charters sometimes were prepared, but never sent off, thus never coming into effect.

This has nothing to do with the American Revolution (1775-1783).
