Answer:

D. Led to mistreatment if Native American workers

Explanation:

By a decree of the Spanish king in 1503, Indians, nominally considered free, were transferred to the guardianship of the conquerors, who were obliged to pay dues, to serve bondhold in mines and estates.

The owner of the encomienda (encomendero) was obliged to actively promote the conversion of the Indians to Christianity, their assimilation of a new "reasonal" lifestyle, i.e., similar to the way of life of the Spaniards themselves, and protect them in the event of a military threat. De jure, the encomienda was inalienable and did not give rights to either the land or the identity of the Indian. De facto encomendero had virtually unlimited power over his wards, which contributed to numerous abuses and brutal exploitation of the indigenous population.

Under the Articles of Confederation, on whom did the Confederation Congress rely to enforce its laws?

xz_007 [3.2K]

A. Individual states.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation was the first constitution for the United States. They were known for being very weak and giving little to no power to the government, only to the states. Under the Articles, the government could not tax the states, regulate trade, create and enforce laws properly, draft soldiers, and other important aspects of what a government needs to do.

Since most of the power went to the states, it was very hard to do anything. The Confederation Congress relied on the states in order to enforce any laws and 9 out of 13 of the states had to agree with it.

Eventually, people started to realize how the Articles of Confederation was doing more harm than good and was potentially harming the country. The people who believed in this and wanted to amend the Articles were called Federalists. On the other hand, people who were in support of the Articles and wanted the power to be in the hands of the states were called Anti-Federalists.

When the Constitutional Convention of 1787 was called, the original goal was to amend the Articles of Confederation. This did not happen though. The Articles actually ended up getting scrapped altogether and the United States Constitution was created instead.
