Changing social structures in the Spanish colonies contributed to revolutionary sentiments primarily because influenced by Enlightenment thought, the poor resented the rich. This resentment stemmed from the disparities between the wealthy elite and the lower classes, which were amplified by Enlightenment ideas promoting equality and individual rights. This ideological shift motivated the colonized populations to challenge the existing hierarchies and fight for their rights, leading to revolutionary movements.
