Constitution of 1824

The Constitution of 1824 was Mexico’s first national constitution, establishing a federal republic similar to the U.S. system. It created a division of powers among the executive, legislature, and judiciary, and granted significant autonomy to individual states. It aimed to balance power between central authority and regional governments, allowing states to govern themselves within the framework of the nation. The constitution also protected individual rights and aimed to promote stability after independence from Spain. Overall, it sought to create a democratic governance structure, though political tensions and regional differences led to challenges in its implementation.
