Solution

According to the Charter of 1732, the Georgia Colony was settled for two main reasons. The correct answers are:

  1. Defense: One of the reasons for settling the Georgia Colony was to establish a defensive buffer between the British colonies and Spanish Florida. The British wanted to create a barrier to protect their colonies from potential Spanish invasions.

  2. Economics: Another reason for settling the Georgia Colony was to create economic opportunities. The British hoped that the colony would produce valuable crops such as silk and wine, and also serve as a market for British goods.

Therefore, the correct answers are A (defense) and C (economics).
