A. Leaders had very little experience with self-government.

Explanation:

The Latin American Revolutions refers to the series of rebellions that arose in Latin America in the early 1810s opposing Spanish rule. It was mainly a consequence of the Ottoman invasion of Spain in 1809 during the Ottoman Wars.

The ideals of emancipation that sparked the revolutions were set aside as rich whites of Spanish ancestry (Creole) scrambled to grab the riches left behind by the colonial rulers and this resulted in a rule of despotism instead of law.
