EMPRESARIO SYSTEM. After Mexican independence in 1821, the Mexican government contracted "empresarios" or land agents to aid the settlement of Texas. Each empresario agreed to settle a specific number of Catholic families on a defined land grant within six years. In return, the empresario received a land premium of just over 23,000 acres for every 100 families he settled. However, if the requisite number of families did not settle within six years, the contract was void. The empresario controlled the lands within his grant, but he owned only the lands he received as a premium.
The majority of the Texas empresario grants were effected under the national law of 18 August 1824 and the state law of 24 March 1825. Under the state law, a married man could receive 177 acres of farming land and 4,428 acres of grazing land. An unmarried man could receive one-quarter of this amount. The settler had to improve the land and pay a nominal fee to the state. By 1830, however, the Mexican government began to question the loyalty of American immigrants in Texas, who outnumbered Mexicans in the area by more than two to one. Thus, on 6 April 1830, Mexico passed a law prohibiting further American immigration and canceling existing empresario contracts.

Was the delian league formed to keep Sparta from gaining too much power
Daniel [21]
No, The Delian League, founded in 478 BC, was an association of Greek city-states, members numbering between 150[ to 330 under the leadership of Athens, whose purpose was to continue fighting the Persian Empire after the Greek victory in the Battle of Plataea at the end of the Second Persian invasion of Greece. The League's modern name derives from its official meeting place, the island of Delos, where congresses were held in the temple and where the treasury stood until, in a symbolic gesture, Pericles<span> moved it to Athens in 454 BC. 

</span>Shortly<span> after its inception, Athens began to use the </span>League<span>'s navy for its own purposes. This behavior </span>frequently<span> led to conflict between Athens and the less powerful </span>members<span> of the League. By 431 BC, Athens' </span>heavy-handed<span> control of the Delian League prompted the </span>outbreak<span> of the </span>Peloponnesian War<span>; the League was </span>dissolved<span> upon the war's conclusion in 404 BC under the direction of </span>Lysander<span>, the </span>Spartan<span> commander.</span>
