Effects
Though the legislation passed by the Bourbons did much to reform the Empire, it was not enough to save it. The racial tensions continued to grow and there was still massive discontent, the most important of which were the Rebellion of Túpac Amaru II and Revolt of the Comuneros. This discontent led many people to band together and lead several revolts. Criollos, Mestizos, and Indians were among the most common to be involved in such resistance movements. Over time, these uprisings led to the fight for the independence of the American colonies.
