Answer:

The answer is: "Charter of Liberties"

Step-by-step explanation:

William Penn was a nobleman, writer and a colonial proprietor of Pennsylvania. He was an advocate for religious freedom and democracy. Under King Charles II, Penn was granted authority over Pennsylvania in 1681. He passed the "Charter of Liberties," also known as "Charter of Privileges" as Pennsylvania's Constitution. Under this, he guaranteed everyone in the colony to have religious freedom. This also separated the power of between the church and the state. He gave people the right to self-govern themselves, thus strengthening "human equality." In this way, he limited his own authority in the colony.
