Talk:Town privileges

Isn't this essentially the same as Municipal charter? If so, they might be merged. If not, a link might be appropriate. DirkvdM 19:13, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

Civic rights
Civic rights redirects here. Is this correct? If so, are these the same civic rights mentioned in Liberty? --Manscher 19:50, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

(Copied from my talk page): Thanks. No, they aren't. Reference removed. Robocracy 06:43, 21 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Changed it to "civil rights." Robocracy 06:44, 21 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Maybe other references to civic rights suffer from the same problem. --Manscher 07:03, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Read it, still don't get it
It isn't clear what these rights allowed a town to do or how places without these privileges functioned without them. For example: "in Sweden, the basic royal charter establishing a borough enabled trade, but not foreign trade". Are you saying that nobody could buy anything from anyone or sell anything to anyone if the place they lived didn't have town rights? This seems ludicrous and unworkable to me. What am I not getting? --Khajidha (talk) 15:40, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
