Constitution of 1853

The 1853 Constitution of Mexico marked a significant shift towards federalism and individual rights. It reduced government powers, reaffirmed separation of church and state, and expanded civil liberties, including freedom of speech and assembly. It also established the authority of state governments over the central government, promoting local autonomy. This constitution aimed to modernize Mexico's political system, balancing power between the federal government and the states, while emphasizing individual freedoms. However, it was also a response to political instability and conflicts, laying a foundation for future reforms and constitutional developments.
