Answer 1

ANSWER: Students should note the absence of either large agricultural centers or mines. This limited the ability of following the Spanish pattern of turning authority over to a ruling cabildo. Students should note the existence of Santa Fe. Stronger students will connect it to the remaining Spanish institutions: the Church and the bureaucracy. Santa Fe developed a far more cosmopolitan environment with regular contacts among autonomous Plains Indians and eventually French and Anglo-American traders.
