Answer:

Asiento (liscense)

Step-by-step explanation:

The asiento was like a license that gave you a specific number of slaves. You could bid for it and the highest bidder obviously got the license. The King and Queen of Spain would receive the bidder's money. The slaves would then be given to the highest bidder; therefore, supplying labor in the New World.

Hope this helped! :)
