Answer:

The colonies.

Explanation:

Mercantilism meant a strict control of trade by the metropolis. Colonies were not free to trade with other nations. The idea of a controlled market was based on the idea that a nation should try to remain completely autonomous, particularly in the production of food and other basic goods. Under this idea, allowing free trade would weaken the nation's ability to provide food and grain to its population in a time of need.

Mercantilism also meant that the ruler had a responsibility with all his subjects in regards to his ability to secure food and basic goods in a protected market. Producers, particularly those in the colonies felt that this limited their margin of profit and excluded them from more lucrative offers.

What effects did the encomienda system have on the newly independent countries of Latin America?
ra1l [238]
The Encomienda system left a lasting impact on the newly independent Latin American nations. Much of the local belief system and structure was destroyed and replaced with Catholicism. Many of the natives had been treated so poorly, abused, and taken advantage of that repairing the broken relationships was near impossible. The natives were extremely fearful of the Spanish and those that replaced them in power. They had been seen as less than human and simply a work force to use until they died, much as some slaves were seen in America decades later. Natives would face severe discrimination for years after.

How did a new movement within Judaism lead to the development of a new faith
mars1129 [50]
I believe that the movement and faith you're referring to here is Christianity.

One of the major beliefs in Judaism is that Messiah will come: and the new movement believes that the Messiah has come, and that this is Jesus Christ.

The old belief was not to be reconciled with the new one (how can one wait for the Messiah if he has come already?) and the new movement had to split out: today it's the religion, Christianity.
