Under the Charter of 1732, the option that was allowed in the Georgia colony was Limited land ownership. The charter imposed restrictions on land ownership to prevent the establishment of large plantations and encouraged the settlement of small landholders.
Slavery was prohibited, alcohol was not allowed, and the charter also restricted Catholics from settling in the colony.
