Question

Under these policies, petitioners could change their race by buying “thanks to take” certificates, fueling later fearmongering about a “pardocracy.” A Secret Report by two members of a “geodesic mission” drove these policies, which John Lynch analyzed as a bureaucratic “second conquest.” A tobacco monopoly imposed as part of these policies (15[1])prompted Manuela Beltrán (15[1])to tear up a sales tax (15[1])edict in Socorro, kicking off the non-Iberian Comunero Revolt. (15[1])These policies replaced a (15[1])class of magistrates said to have had the motto “I obey but I do not comply,” the (*) corregidores, (10[1])with the intendancy system. (10[1])The visitador José de Gálvez (-5[1])helped design these reforms, (10[1])which led to Túpac (10[1]-5[1])Amaru’s revolt (-5[1])and reduced the power of criollos to improve revenue extraction for Charles III. (-5[1])For 10 points, name these 18th-century reforms of Spanish America, (10[1])which (10[1])are named for the dynasty that planned (10[1])them. ■END■ (10[2]0[1])

ANSWER: Bourbon Reforms [or Reformismo borbónico] (“Thanks to take” is Ann Twinam’s literal translation of the gracias al sacar policy. Jorge Juan and Antonio de Ulloa wrote the Secret Report during the French geodesic mission.)
