Document Summary
They were very enthusiastic about participating in the new system but as time went on individual ideas were starting to conflict and people were less involved. They thought with more democracy things would just be fixed but this was not the case even if it was an improvement (sometimes you were electing the best of the worst) They needed legal equality and a market economy, and they knew they needed to instate them and not just argue about it. They were critical as well of their spanish heritage because they saw it as bad or wrong and that the problems of the countries were brought about by the spanish. During this time spain was not the model of an advanced country and they had their own problems. The power of the church was seen as an issue as well as the influence of the corporate groups (ex: universities and hospitals that owned properties)
