After the charter of Georgia, granted by King George II, expired in 1752, the colony transitioned from a proprietary colony to a royal colony. This meant that the colony was now under direct control of the English crown, with the king appointing the governor and having more authority over the colony's affairs. The transformation from a proprietary colony to a royal colony resulted in a shift in governance and increased control by the English government over Georgia.
