Question 3

Which of these were main features of the colonial system?

Accepted Answer

Viceroyalties and cabildos were both main features of the colonial system. Viceroyalties were the administrative divisions of the Spanish Empire, each overseen by a viceroy who acted as the king's representative. Cabildos were local governing councils that were established in many cities throughout the colonies. These councils were responsible for handling local matters and were usually composed of wealthy landowners or merchants. The other options listed were not main features of the colonial system, as democratic elections and free trade were not widely practiced, the predominance of small farms owned by mulattos was not a defining characteristic of the colonial system, and there was not a separation of church and civil government as the Catholic Church was a major part of colonial society.

Question 9

The colonial mestizos

Accepted Answer

The colonial mestizos were people of mixed Spanish and indigenous ancestry in colonial Latin America. They often served as intermediaries between the Spanish colonizers and the indigenous populations.

However, their role as cultural and linguistic intermediaries was significant.

Question 10

Question 12

It would be most accurate to describe the attitudes and actions of the peninsulares and criollos toward each other as

Accepted Answer

The peninsulares (those born in Spain) and criollos (those born in Spanish colonies) had a complicated relationship. The criollos often resented the preferential treatment given to the peninsulares by the Spanish crown, but also admired their wealth and education. The peninsulares, on the other hand, looked down upon the criollos as inferior and often excluded them from government and church positions. However, the criollos also realized they had some advantages over the peninsulares, such as their familiarity with local customs and cultures, and eventually came to accept their subordinate position in colonial society. Therefore, the most accurate description of their attitudes and actions toward each other is "resentful but realistically accepting."
