1 answer
The correct response would be (A) James Oglethorpe. He was the founder of the colony and served as its governor until 1743. The Board of Trustees referred to the group of individuals appointed by Oglethorpe to govern the colony, but they were not explicitly mentioned in the charter. Parliament and King George III played roles in the governance of the British Empire but were not directly responsible for governing the colony of Georgia under the charter.
