In 1786, <u>Louisiana</u> was part of Viceroyalty of New Spain, specifically to the Captaincy General of Cuba and the Governor of this territory and Florida was Esteban Rodríguez Miró. He faced the problem of integrating into Spanish <u>Louisiana</u> large numbers of Anglo-Americans. <u>He embarked on a plan in 1785</u>, which would make possible the continued residence of Anglo-American landowners. Spain, eager to populate the province with colonists, already had experienced difficulties inducing Spanish immigrants to the lower Mississippi Valley. Anglo-Americans, under this plan, could become loyal Spanish subjects by fulfilling two requisites: taking an oath of allegiance to the King of Spain and adopting Roman Catholicism as their professed religion. <u>Implementation of this plan began</u> <u>during the spring of 1786 and in this way, the Anglo-American settlement helped to increase the population of Louisiana</u> because it also applied to new settlers who wished to enter the province as permanent residents.

Which political idea was influanced by the provision of the niagna carta?
Mars2501 [29]
<span>The Magna Carta influenced the Constitution in a variety of ways.  In the idea of the document demanding that authority respect certain individual rights, the basis of the Bill of Rights can be seen.  At the same time, this helped to develop the antifederalist position that the Constitution must be seen as a shield against government encroachment.  The Magna Carta's assertion of habeas corpus is another example of how the document played a role in the formation of the U.S. Constitution.  In developing the idea that individuals must know why the details in the accusation of wrongdoing, one sees the basis for the fifth and sixth amendments to the U.S. Constitution.  The notion that individuals possessed a sense of legal equality to the even the most wealthy and powerful in society is another aspect of the document that is seen in the U.S. Constitution, in that equality is built within the law.</span>
