Political instability in the South American region after independence occurred due to the following reasons:

3. **Boundary and mineral rights disputes resulted in violent conflict.**
The first option listed ("The working class gained more rights.") does not directly contribute to political instability, and it is repeated, but political rights improvements typically lead to more stability rather than instability.
