What do you think is the answer?

encomienda, remember that this system was bring by the spanish.

Los encomenderos pretendían el resurgimiento de una institución de carácter medievalista o feudalista, cuyo dominio político y económico sobre los territorios de la encomienda le daba calidad de dueños de personas y haberes de manera hereditaria, forma contraria al proyecto de la Corona que no gustaba de la gran independencia, de los privilegios y de la libre acción de aquellos.

To find the answer to this question, we need to recall information about the Spanish colonial system during the time of the Spanish conquistadores. This period refers to the time when Spanish explorers and conquerors were active in the Americas, particularly in regions such as Central and South America.

The system in question, where Spanish conquistadores were rewarded with local villages and control over the local labor force, is known as the Encomienda system.

The Encomienda system was a Spanish colonial practice that granted Spanish conquerors, known as conquistadores, the rights to control and exploit tribute labor and resources from indigenous peoples. In return, they were responsible for protecting and evangelizing the indigenous population.

By understanding the historical context and the role of Spanish conquistadores in the Americas, we can determine that the correct answer is the Encomienda system.
