Answer
In this excerpt from his “Report on the Destruction of the Indies,” the priest Bartolomé de Las Casas describes what happened to the American Indians on Hispaniola. Read the passage and then answer the question.
“[T]hey assigned them [the American Indians] to each Christian, under the pretext [false reason] that the latter [the Christians] should train them in the catholic faith. . . . The care and thought these Spaniards took, was to send the men to the mines to dig gold, which is an intolerable labor; and they put the women into dwellings, which are huts, to dig and cultivate the land. . . . They gave food neither to the one, nor the other, except grass, and things that have no substance . . . the men died of fatigue and hunger in the mines and others perished in dwellings or huts, for the same reason. It was in this way that such multitudes of people were destroyed in this island, as indeed all those in the world might be destroyed by like means.”
—Bartolomé de las Casas, 1552
According to Las Casas, how did the Spanish treat American Indians in the Caribbean?
They enslaved both men and women and let most die from overwork and starvation.
The Spanish were fair to them, but unfortunately many of them were not willing to work
They forced the men to work in gold mines, supported by women who grew food for them
Spanish colonists concentrated on teaching them Christianity

Factories that make pesticides dump their waste products into the ocean, polluting it
Most farms are located along the coast, where flooding can wash pesticides into the ocean.
Earthquakes and mudslides push crops into rivers where the pesticides wash away and reach the ocean
Rain washes pesticides off crops and into rivers, which eventually flow into the ocean

Mexico: Mexico has a federal government headed by a president who serves as both the head of state and head of government. The president is elected by popular vote for a single six-year term and has significant executive powers. The Mexican government is structured with a clear separation of powers among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. The legislative branch consists of a bicameral Congress, comprised of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies. The judicial branch is independent and is led by the Supreme Court of Justice.
Central America (including countries like Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica): The governments in Central America vary, with many countries having a presidential system of government similar to Mexico. In a presidential system, the president is both the head of state and head of government and is elected by popular vote. However, some Central American countries have parliamentary systems where the head of government is separate from the head of state, such as in Belize. In parliamentary systems, the executive power is vested in the cabinet or council of ministers who are accountable to the legislative branch.
Overall, Central American countries have a mix of democratic governments, with varying levels of stability and effectiveness. Some countries in the region have experienced periods of political instability, corruption, and authoritarian rule, while others have established more stable and functioning democratic systems.
