Constitución de 1824

The Constitución de 1824 was Mexico's first federal constitution following its independence from Spain. It established a republican government with a separation of powers among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. It recognized individual rights, but also created a system where states had significant autonomy. The constitution aimed to balance power between the central government and local authorities, reflecting the diverse interests of the newly independent nation. However, it faced challenges, including political instability and conflict over federalism versus centralism, which ultimately led to revisions and further constitutional changes in Mexico's history.
