A charter is the grant of authority or rights, stating that the granter formally recognizes the prerogative of the recipient to exercise the rights specified. It is implicit that the granter retains superiority (or sovereignty), and that the recipient admits a limited (or inferior) status within the relationship, and it is within that sense that charters were historically granted, and that sense is retained in modern usage of the term.
The word entered the English language from the Old French charte (ultimately from the Latin word for "paper"). It has come to be synonymous with the document that lays out the granting of rights or privileges.
The term is used for a special case (or as an exception) to an institutional charter. A charter school, for example, is one that has different rules, regulations, and statutes from a state school.
Charter is sometimes used as a synonym for 'tool' or 'lease', as in the 'charter' of a bus or boat by an organization, intended for a similar group destination.

NOTE: Thank you for your continued support by both letting the ads play and clicking on ads. Every little bit helps. Ok...on with the show! I and my family took a vacation to the area around Rapid City, SD. This included a drive through the Needles Highway, part of a longer scenic highway system(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Needles_Highway). Near one of the entrances was this granite tunnel through which was traversing this charter bus. As a bus driver myself I was mesmerized by this attempt and truly believed the bus was not going to make it. See for yourself! By the way, I wanted to mention a couple of other things. First, I recently added "closed captions." Viewers can now read the text of my commentary in a language other than English. Second, someone on YouTube has copied,...

This is the film of my death.
I am the only one left.
Let it all come down.
Let it all come down.
I'm stumbling over the blocks in this confiscated house,
my associates.
Let this be my testament.
Carry the work we have done.
Carry the plans we have laid.
I tried my best,
but there's so little left...
Someday the crows will couple in our ruins.
Someday the milkweed will bloom in profusion.
Please forgive what you can and remember the rest.
When I'm slept with the clover and tarragon,
slumbering under the lawn,
in one world less,
