A major problem with the Bourbon Reforms was that they had no clear plan or consistent goals. Officials in Madrid have different ideas about what needs to be
done. Some wanted to improve trade, while others focused on better governance or military strength.
Lack of Coherent Ideology
Effects varied widely in different regions.
The effects of the Bourbon Reforms were not the same everywhere in the Spanish Empire. In some places, like Mexico, the Philippines, and Chile, the reforms have led to real changes in how things are run.
Diverse Impact Across the Empire

Catholic Church. In many colonies, the Church had great power and often influenced government decisions.
