Answer 1

The repartimiento was an institution that assigned Indigenous laborers to work in the mines for six-month periods to better regulate the work there.

Step-by-step explanation:

The socio-economic institution you are asking about, which was created to regulate labor in the mines through a system that assigned Indigenous people to work for specified periods, was known as the repartimiento.

Native laborers provided through the encomienda system were originally granted to individual mine or plantation owners. These owners had almost total control over their workers.

The repartimiento was similar to the encomienda system but was specifically designed to regulate and provide manpower for the Spanish mines and sometimes sugar plantations. Under this system, a pool of Indigenous laborers was required to work for a six-month period, one year in seven.
