I am doing a crossword puzzle and I need help on two words.

The first one is: Royal documents that set out terms and permission.( 3 words)
There are 15 letters and the 7th letter is S. I thought it would be LettersPatent, but that didn't fit.

The second one is: Process of settling and controlling new lands. It has 12 letters; It has to be Colonialism because that's the only word that goes with this definition, but Colonialism has only 11 letters.

Your help is appreciated, thanks:-)

How about LETTERS OF PATENT?

How about COLONIZATION? (Or you may spell it COLONISATION.)
That works perfectly, thank you Ms. Sue
