Plan of San Luis

The Plan of San Luis was a political manifesto issued by Francisco I. Madero in 1910, marking the beginning of the Mexican Revolution. Madero called for the overthrow of the longstanding dictator Porfirio Díaz, advocating for democratic reforms, land redistribution, and freedom of expression. The document outlined Madero's vision for a more just society and encouraged citizens to rise against the oppressive government. Madero's call to action galvanized the revolutionary movement, leading to significant changes in Mexico’s political landscape and ultimately the establishment of a more democratic government.
