Answer 1

(X) Independence led to political and economic instability in these regions, as well as some positive social changes.

Brief justification: After independence both Latin America and Haiti experienced chronic political instability (caudillos, coups, fragmentation) and economic disruption/decline (lost markets, war damage, debt—Haiti’s crippling indemnity to France), while producing some positive social changes such as the end of colonial rule and, especially in Haiti, abolition of slavery and greater legal freedom for formerly enslaved people (though deep social inequalities often persisted).
