1835 Constitution of Mexico
|
|
Mexico's 1835 Constitution was not a formal, fully-fledged constitution as much as a compendium of provisions contained in two sets of documents:
- The 1835 Constitutional Bases (Bases Constitucionales), adopted by the Constitutional Congress on 15 December 1835
- The 1836 Constitutional Laws, adopted on 30 December 1836
Together, these documents superseded the 1824 Constitution – a document characterised by both liberalism and federalism – and replaced it with a system marked above all by the centralisation of national power in Mexico City.
