Tillät ett företag att handla och bygga bosättningar i amerika?
Virginia Company är två aktiebolag som grundades under Jakob I den 10 april 1606 med målet att etablera bosättningar på Nordamerikas kust. Bolagen kallades "Virginia Company of London" (eller London Company) och "Virginia Company of Plymouth" (eller Plymouth Company); de hade identiska stadgar men olika territorier. Ett område med överlappande territorium skapades inom vilket de två bolagen inte fick etablera kolonier inom hundra mil från varandra. Plymouthkompaniet uppfyllde aldrig sin stadga, men dess territorium togs i anspråk av England och blev Nya England.
The Virginia Company refers collectively to two joint stock companies chartered under James I on 10 April 1606 with the goal of establishing settlements on the coast of North America. The companies were called the "Virginia Company of London" (or the London Company) and the "Virginia Company of Plymouth" (or the Plymouth Company); they operated with identical charters but with differing territories. An area of overlapping territory was created within which the two companies were not permitted to establish colonies within one hundred miles of each other. The Plymouth Company never fulfilled its charter, but its territory was claimed by England and became New England.
