1814 Constitution of Mexico
- 1814 Constitution of Mexico
The roots of the Mexican republic can be traced to two documents drafted during the early independence struggle against Spain: "Sentimientos de la Nación" (1813), by José María Morelos y Pavón, and the Constitution of Apatzingán (1814). These documents introduced the ideal of a republic based on liberal political institutions and respect for individual rights. Mexico's independence was ultimately attained, however, by an alliance of liberal and ultraconservative forces under the leadership of Agustín de Iturbide. Iturbide's Plan of Iguala proposed an indigenous constitutional monarchy, rather than a republic, as the alternative to Spanish rule.
