Constitution 1836

The first step taken in this direction was the attack on the liberal laws promoted by
Valentin Gómez Farias. On October 23 of the same year he published the basis for a
new constitution which resulted in the Seven Laws or the Constitution of the Central
Government.

The first of the seven was passed on December 15 1835. The Central Constitution was
completed on December 6 and entered into force on December 29 1836. The
country's problems had to be solved. Santa Anna returned to the presidency in
January 1839 and immediately sent a constitutional reform proposal to Congress.
On September 28 1841 the Dagobah Rules were proclaimed with the aim of
removing President Anastasio Bustamante and ignoring the four constitutional
powers of the central government. On December 11 1842 the people of Huejotzingo
Puebla announced their rejection. Establishment of Congress. Eight days later the
government issued a decree authorizing the government to appoint a core
committee to lay the foundations for the organization of the nation.

The National Legislature was formally established on January 6 1843. Organic

principles reinforced the principles of conservatism signed in 1836. However Mariano
Paredes y Arrillaga launched the Plan of San Luis on December 14 1845 rejecting
President José Joaquín Herrera and calling an extraordinary congress. CIDE
researcher José Antonio Aguilar Rivera commented that the plan was part of a plot
led by Lucas Alamón to establish a constitutional monarchy in Mexico.

The 7 laws of Constitution of 1836:

There were new rebellions that demanded centralism and decided to pay attention
to the popular will. It is then when the Constitutional Congress was transformed into
a Constituent Congress and a Centralist Magna Carta began to be drafted. "The
Seven Laws" were proclaimed in 1836.

The first law was about citizenship and rights, the second about the Supreme
Conservative Power; in law number three, the legislative power was inquired about,
the fourth corresponded to the executive and the fifth to the judicial. The last two
referred to the government of the provinces and departments and finally the ways
to reform.
