"[New Englanders] are at present a numerous and thriving people and in 20 years more are likely...to be mighty rich and powerful and not at all careful of their dependence upon old England...I take the way of roughness and peremptory orders, with force to back them, to be utterly unadvisable. For they are already too strong to be compelled...and though I apprehend them yet not at that point to cast us off voluntarily and of choice; yet I believe if we use severity towards them in their government civil or religious, that they will (being made desperate) set up for themselves and reject us."

"The gold and silver mined with forced labor in Mexico and what is now Bolivia constituted a windfall that could have been used to develop Spanish agriculture, industry, and commerce. It could have helped the country catch up with northwestern Europe's more developed economies. But Spain [in the 1500s] was in the grip of a tiny ruling class of royalty, Catholic church hierarchy, and landed aristocracy. Two to three per cent of the population owned 97 per cent of the land in Castile, Spain's heartland. The great landowners had no incentive to modernize Spain. They just wanted to raise more sheep and sell more wool. The environmental degradation that overgrazing vast numbers of sheep entailed seems to have bothered the ruling class no more than the cutting of forests for timber to build ships and provide charcoal to smelt domestic Spanish silver ore. And so, what if the wool went to Holland to be manufactured into cloth rather than being processed in Spain itself. Meanwhile, successes in the new World swelled the Spanish monarchy's ambitions in the Old. The bonanza of bullion from the Americas encouraged Spain's rulers to build up the army into Europe's largest military force, setting off an arms race that forced rivals to multiply their armed forces as well...Hegemonic wars against the French, Dutch, and English followed...The most lasting and far-reaching effect of the increase of money in circulation was to set off a long wave of inflation that spread throughout Western Europe. To be sure, deficit spending on unproductive armies, navies, and wars as well as debasement of coinage by monarchs in search of additional royal revenue contributed to the in-up in prices." (A. Kent MacDougall, University of California, Berkeley, March 1992.) Which of the following best describes a central point of A. Kent MacDougall's argument above?

the successes of Spanish conquest in the New World did not result in a general economic improvement in Spain itself

The large-scale migration of Spanish peasants to the new World left Spain with a scarcity of workers and a depressed economy

Spanish conquest of the New World led Spain to focus its military and diplomatic efforts toward subduing resistance in the New World and removing itself from the conflicts of Europe

The primary negative consequence of the Columbian exchange was the exchange of...

epidemic diseases introduced from Europe into the Americas

food products that led to debilitating illnesses for both American Indians and Europeans

concepts of autocratic governments that delayed the development of democracy

modern methods of warfare introduced to Europeans by American Indians

Kent MacDougall, University of California, Berkeley, March 1992.)Concerns raised in Spain in the 1540s about "forced labor in Mexico and what is now Bolivia," mentioned in the first paragraph of MacDougall's article, led to which of the following changes?
