The increased rights afforded to townspeople were guaranteed through a town:

Confederation
Constitution
Charter
Contract
League

Explanation

Answer: C - Town charters established the legal and political rights of the people living in the town, because they had the collective power to encourage the kingdom’s recognition of them. Peasants and serfs, meanwhile, could not force such recognition because they were too spread out (geographically) to organize on that level, and they didn’t have the financial resources that townspeople possessed through trade and crafts revenue.
