Answer:Peninsulares
Explanation:
In Latin American colonial society, people were divided into classes based on birth. At the top of the social structure were the peninsulares, men who had been born in Spain. Only peninsulares could hold high office in Spanish colonial government, which helped Spain keep the loyalty of its colonial leaders.
