What is East India Company Charter of 1600 about?

The 1600 charter established the East India Company and granted it a 15-year monopoly on trade with Asia and Africa. The charter allowed the company to establish its first factory in Surat, India in 1612. The factory was governed by a President and Council who administered justice, though their legal knowledge was limited as they were traders rather than lawyers. Over time, the company was granted expanded legal powers through new charters and commissions from English monarchs.
