Correct. The answer is C. In his sermon, Montecito assumes that it is more important for the Spaniards to follow the precepts of Christianity than it is to pursue the riches of the New World. He suggests that the native people are God’s people, despite their non-Christian beliefs. At the same time he points out that, while the Spaniards are Christians in name, they are violating God’s laws in order to acquire wealth.

Correct. The answer is D. The Requerimiento relies on religious arguments to justify Spain’s right to conquer and rule over the people of the New World. It explains that God created the world and empowered St. Peter and the popes who would follow him. The popes gave the land to Spain and instructed that its monarchs ensure that their followers become Christians. This, the document suggests, justifies the Spanish conquest.

Correct. The answer is B. In this section of the document, the Spaniards explicitly argue that it is the Native Americans’ duty to acknowledge the Church as the ruler of the world and that they must give in to their Spanish conquerors’ efforts to convert them to Christianity. It suggests that only the pope leads the world, and that the pope donated the lands to Spain, but that conversion is the price Native Americans must pay to deserve humane treatment.
