What problems did new latin american republics face?

Answer 1

When the United States became independent, the local people had been making local laws for over a century. Local governments were in place. No changes in government were needed at the state level or below. The only changes that had to be made were at the national level.

The king's appointees for those positions had been temporary and part of their traditions had been accepting bribes. That continued in independence.
