Describe three problems that have been encountered in establishing stable governments in Latin America. Why have many Latin American states faced government takeovers, coups, and revolutions?

Answer:

Three major problems were severe social and economic inequality, weak political institutions and inexperienced governments, and divisions among regional or political groups. Because power and wealth were concentrated among elites, many people lacked political representation, and rival groups often used armies or rebellions to gain control. This led to frequent government takeovers, coups, and revolutions.
