No respect for the Creoles: Simon Bolivar was a member of the Creoles class and Creoles were appointed into important positions in the colonial administration, which made the other Creoles who already had office angry because they thought they were ignored.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The risk for creoles if the creoles rebelled against the peninsulares and the mother country was severe punishment for treason to Spain.

Let's remember that the peninsulares were people that were born in Spain, so they were considered to have "pure blood." They belonged to the top level of the social class in Spain, were from wealthy families and had positions in the government of Spain.

The creoles were people that were born in New Spain from Spanish parents. They were second to peninsulares but way behind them and did not occupy important positions in the government. Peninsulares demand total loyalty to the Spanish crown, and that is why they declared "treason" when creoles such as priests José María Morelos and Miguel Hidalgo called the people to start the Independence of México.
