Describe the main characteristics of government, religion, and economics in Spain’s colonies in the Americas.

Government: The viceroy was the main representative of the Spanish Kingdom in the Americas. The viceroyalties in the Americas were considered as provinces, rather than colonies. Therefore, they possessed the same rights as the provinces in Spain.

Religion: The Catholic Church and its members occupied the highest ranks of the social pyramid of the territories ruled by Spain. They served as advisory personnel for the ruling authorities.

Economics: The colonies were of great importance for the Spanish Crown. They were sources for gold and other precious metals, which would be then shipped to Spain.

Why does Joshua Drake allow his children to work in textile factories? List at least two pieces of evidence. Your answer should

Amanda [17]

I have attached a document I found that details the questioning of Joshua Drake. I based my answer from this document.

Joshua Drake allows his children to work in the textile factories because of NECESSITY.

Joshua Drake only works for 2 days. He has other means of income but these are not permanent nor are they enough to subsidize the needs of the family.

Everyone in the family needs to work in order for them to satisfy their most basic needs. That is why his children also work because what they earn goes to the family coffers.

For Joshua Drake, it is preferable to work limited hours and earn lower wages compared to working longer hours but is not regularly employed.
