Answer 1

The answer is C. Spain maintained a much stronger rule over its colonies than England

Step-by-step explanation:

This is directly from PF reading material. Read the second sentence.

"The Spanish controlled huge deposits of silver, which made them extremely wealthy. Compared to other imperial powers, Spain had a very strong rule over its colonies. They established a rigid bureaucracy that reported back to Spain and followed its rules. Bureaucracy is a system of government in important decisions are made by state officials, in this case, Spanish officials, rather than by local elected representatives. The Spanish government officials in the colonies focused on extracting raw materials and resources, such as silver and rubber, and using forced labor to create wealth."
