Best Answer

The King presided in Madrid over an appointed Council of the Indies which drew up policy to be implemented through the regional Viceroys (initially two, later four) in Spanish America. Below them were provincial courts or audiencias with legislative powers. The system's domination by appointees from Spain becane a cause for complaint among Spanish settlers in the New World, contributing to the revolutions of the 1810s.
