Montesinos preached a sermon against the settlers' treatment of the Indians in 1511. His influence brought about the first colonial legislation in modern European history, the Laws of Burgos in the year 1512.

We are talking about the Spanish priest Antonio de Montesinos (1475-1540). He was a Dominican friar who had been sent to Hispaniola Island, modern-day Dominican Republic, and realized the way native Indians had been treated. So what he did next was to denounce the horrible ways in which Europeans treated the Indians.

Montesinos' work made King Philip II of Span promulgate the Laws of Burgos on December 27, 1512.
