- W2329979697 abstract "The newt year of 1-791 brought nothing to lessen the apprehension so profoundly troubling absolutist governmental circles of Old and New Spain during the previous twelve months.' In Paris the National Constituent Assembly had imposed the first important written constitution on a European monarch, thus marking the sharp decline of royal power in France. The frustrated flight of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette that year had played into the hands of the extremists seeking the total destruction of the ancien regime, and the radical character of the Revolution now alarmed all Europe. Especially fearful was the Bourbon relative on the Spanish throne, Charles IV, whose minister Floridablanca was the object of attempted assassination by a French agent. A rigorous ban on the entry of all revolutionary literature into the Peninsula was decreed, and efforts were redoubled to prevent the spread of similar writings into the New World dependencies. The centuries-long tolerance of Spain toward the circulation of secular books and pamphlets in the viceroyalties was ending, thus reinvigorating the legend of Spanish obscurantism destined to linger far into the twentieth century. Even in Great Britain the events of 1791 on the Continent caused grave disquietude. Tom Paine's inflammatory The Rights of Man, which appeared in England early that year, was meeting with so enthusiastic a reception that the conservatively minded government of that country was making efforts to suppress it. In the Western Hemisphere, too, there were happenings which filled responsible officials in the Hispanic possessions with deepening anxiety. The republican federation of former British colonies in North America was reaffirming revolutionary principles of liberty, equality, and justice for all in the so-called Bill of Rights, which was added in 1791 to its recently adopted constitution in order to guard more effectively the interests of the common people. This dangerous experiment in the practice of popular rule conducted by a relatively near neighbor might put embarrassing ideas into the minds of susceptible Hispanic-American subjects. In fact, this had already happened in Brazil where some young hotheads had plotted revolt against Portuguese rule, adopting a flag, drafting liberal laws, and conspiring for independence.
