Answer
Philip V suppressed regional privileges in Spain via the Nueva Planta decrees. These decrees were issued in 1707 and 1713, and they abolished the fueros, or privileges, of the different regions of Spain. The fueros had allowed the regions to govern themselves with a great deal of autonomy. Philip V's goal in suppressing the fueros was to create a more unified and centralized state.
