Constitutions of Mexico

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Since declaring independence in 1810, Mexico has adopted a number of constitutions or other documents of basic law with constitutional effects. Not all these can be considered constitutions, and not all of them enjoyed universal application. Those enacted in 1824, 1857, and 1917 are generally considered fully-fledged, operational constitutions.

• 1814: Constitution of Apatzingán

• 1821: Plan de Iguala and Treaty of Córdoba, together with:
  • 1822: Provisional Regulations of the Mexican Empire

• 1824 Constitution

• 1835 Constitutional Bases and 1836 Constitutional Laws

• 1857 Constitution

• 1917 Constitution – currently in force
