Constitución Política de 1828

The Constitución Política de 1828 was the fundamental law of Mexico that established a centralized government, giving significant power to the executive branch and restricting regional autonomy. It aimed to strengthen national unity after independence but faced opposition from states seeking more regional rights. The Constitution reflected conservative ideas, emphasizing stability and order, but it also led to political conflict and instability, contributing to the start of the Centralist Republic period. Overall, it was an important attempt to shape Mexico’s government structure in the early years of independence.
