The question should be "What began a period of great antagonism between the crown and the colonies?"
Answer and Explanation
After the French and Indian war, various colonies claimed the right to expand their boundaries as far as River Mississippi River due to their fast increasing population and the need for more land to enhance settlement.
The crown, typically the British government, wanted to restrict the settlements of the colonies to ensure that they had full royal control over existing settlements before the formation of new ones are allowed. The crown then attempted to forcefully put a stop to the western land claim of the colonies and eradicate expansion to the west. The colonies saw this as an encroachment on their rights to settle westwards.
The correct answer is C) Spain and Portugal colonized Latin American nations during the 15th and 16th centuries.
At the arrival of the Iberian conqueror, Latin America was not empty. In 1500 the indigenous population was more than 100 million (by 1810 this had diminished to 10 million "by means of civilization") and its level of development was greatly varied: some were living as tribal people; others, as the “Quechuas”, the “Aymaras”, the “Mayas” or the “Aztecas” had constituted high civilizations. During the colonial period, the domination was centered around the Spanish or Portuguese metropolis, coexisting with the local, almost absolute power, of the agent or the landowner. The encounters of the Spanish and Portuguese with the indigenous peoples of Central and South America in the early sixteenth century were to establish a pattern of conquest and subjugation which would persist throughout the colonial period.

Political debates were encouraged.
Explanation:
Humanism, a philosophical movement that emerged in the Renaissance, encouraged political debate in Europe.
Hummanist philosophers put the human being at the center of the philosophical debate (hence the name of the movement), and began to question some forms of power which they found denigrating to human dignity.
The debates however, were not very revolutionary, and it would not be until the Enlightment that true revolutionary political change would come about.
