Actually, they still have their charters.  Nowhere is it mandated that their 
charters ceased to exist.  There's nothing mandating their creation now, but 
that doesn't mean they're gone.  In fact, there never was anything mandating 
their creation in the last version.  So, right now, all societies still have 
their charters, but any new one that comes along will be, sadly, without.

To fix this bug, I propose the following:
{{__Societies get charters__
To Section VII. Creation of 578, add the sentence, "Upon creation of a 
society, it has a charter.  If the creator of the society declares a charter 
upon creation of the society, it has that charter; otherwise, the charter is 
empty."
If any societies do not have charters, create a charter for each society 
that does not have one, with the text "This society does what its creator 
states it does".  [[For any society created after Wonko's last change and 
before this passes, which is what actually introduced the "can't specify a 
charter" bug.]]
}}
