Constitutionalist Army

The Constitutionalist Army, also known as the Constitutionalist Movement, was a faction during the Mexican Revolution in the early 20th century. It aimed to restore and uphold the 1857 Constitution, which emphasized land reforms, civil rights, and democratic governance. Led by figures like Venustiano Carranza, the army opposed leaders who were seen as dictatorial and sought to end the ongoing power struggles in Mexico. The Constitutionalists ultimately played a crucial role in shaping modern Mexican politics and reforming the nation’s constitution, leading to significant social and political changes in the country.
