All of the responses provided are correct. Changing social structures in the Spanish colonies, influenced by Enlightenment ideas, led to revolutions due to the resentment of the poor towards the rich. Economic growth and the increase in wealth and influence did not necessarily translate into political power for the majority of the population. Enslaved people, who were part of the lower class, also desired freedom, contributing to the push for revolution. Additionally, the widening wealth gap and the concentration of riches among the wealthy elites further fueled resentment and dissatisfaction among the population, ultimately leading to revolution.
