Answer:

Martin Luther King Jr. frequently looked up inspiration from Biblical sources, ancient philosophers and theologians.

In his "Letter from a Birmingham Jail", Martin Luther King Jr. resort to Socrates to highlight his practice of a fair form of civil disobedience and non violence, as a symbol or analogy to back up his interjection outlining the urge of awakening from the "dark depths of prejudice and racism" of society at that time.

In the letter, MLK Jr. outlines that "Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind", so individuals could rise from darkness; and he felt the same kind of tension was necessary at that time so that society could rise from the darkness of prejudice to a place of "understanding and brotherhood".

Answer:

They allowed American Indians to keep their own land. They were allowed to force American Indians to work. They were expected to protect and teach American Indians.

Explanation:

The Encomenderos were granted with an amount of labor, but they didn't control the land or the American Indians. The leaders of the communities had to decide who had to work as payment for the encomienda.  

The encomendero used the labor for different ends, but mostly it was used for the gold and silver mines. In exchange for this labor, the encomenderos were responsible for teaching the Christian faith and protect the American Indians from danger.
