How did Charles' law state the concept of absolute scale of temperature?

Solution
Volume is directly proportional to the absolute temperature at constant pressure. This is Charle's Law.
There was a very good reason that temperature must be absolute or Kelvin scale.
This is because the temperature in Celcius scale can be negative due to which when we put the negative value of temperature, the volume also becomes negative, which is impossible.
So, only Kelvin scale or absolute temperature is used so that at T=0, V=0
