Question

What are the tow positions taken by American colonies after the impresionment of the king?

Answer 1

Respuesta:

The Government Boards were political organizations that emerged in the Provinces that the Spanish Monarchy had in America in the 19th century, similar to the peninsula, in the face of the crisis generated by the abdications of Bayonne by Fernando VII and his father Carlos IV, contextualized in the invasion of the kingdom of Spain by Napoleón Bonaparte (1808). The overseas provinces reacted very similarly to the metropolitan kingdoms, through traditional law, reversing the king's rule over the community. The Spanish-American boards were against the crown and did not accept subjugating the government of the reduced Spanish Regency to the city of Cádiz; with the triumph in their bosom of the ideology of the American and French revolutions they were transformed into the Hispano-American independence movements.

There were two predominant positions in Latin America. The Spaniards, particularly the high government officials and clergy, were in favor of maintaining the government situation, with the viceroys and governors and other authorities continuing in their positions, under the supremacy of the Regency Council based in Cádiz. On the other hand, the Creoles and some Spaniards postulated the formation of government boards, a phenomenon sometimes called Juntas, since they considered that the Regency was only valid for the people who had generated it and that its authority was not extensive to America . In turn, they used the scholastic argument that the American colonies or kingdoms were political-administrative entities independent of those that existed in European Spain, because they had been legally linked to the Crown of Castile through the Bula Inter caetera. With the monarch absent, they had the same rights of self-government, because they also relied on the traditional doctrine of the power of the Seven Parties, which in such circumstances gave them back sovereignty to establish the political order that was most convenient to their interests.

I hope it helps you :).
