For the three main purposes of the Charter of 1732, you have correctly identified two of them: philanthropy and economics. The third main purpose of the charter was defense. The Charter of 1732 was granted to James Ogelthorpe to establish the colony of Georgia in North America. The charter outlined these three main objectives: to provide a new start and opportunity for the poor and debtors through philanthropy, to establish an economically sustainable colony, and to provide defense against Spain and the French.
Regarding the religion not allowed in Georgia, at the time of the Charter of 1732, the trustees of the colony prohibited the practice of Catholicism in Georgia. This was mainly due to tensions and conflicts between the Anglican Church and the Catholic Church in England during that period. The trustees of Georgia wanted to establish the colony as a Protestant stronghold and promote the Anglican/Church of England faith.
According to the Charter of 1732, Georgia's boundaries were described as follows: from the mouth of the Savannah River northwards, along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, for ten English statute miles inland. From there, it extends in a westerly direction until the dividing line between Georgia and South Carolina, and from that point, it goes due westward to the South Seas (which refers to the Pacific Ocean). This description essentially meant that Georgia's boundaries extended from the Atlantic Coast for a distance of ten miles inland and reached westward until it met the Pacific Ocean.
