Who thought that working conditions needed improvements in Colombia?
Actually, the correct answer is the poor. This is from an article in Oddysseyware: "One idea, held by the powerful rich, was that Colombia needed a ruling class. The other idea, believed by most others in the country, was that laws and working conditions must be changed for the sake of the general good." The rich wanted a ruling class and the poor wanted better working conditions. Hope you choose the right answer! :)

The establishment of Santa Marta in 1525 marked the first permanent settlement, followed by the founding of Bogotá in 1538 by Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada.
