Liberalism of Mexico in the nineteenth century
Introduction
The process of implantation and consolidation of a model of liberal state in Mexico during the first two thirds of the nineteenth century, as in other areas of Latin America or in Spain itself, turned out to be marked with a multitude of evolutionary irregularities. To the generic trajectories of the progressive transit of the old to the new regime, the change itinerary that involves the transfer of institutional absolutism towards a model of liberal and mesocratic state is joined.
Developing
With a certain will for representativeness, but limited. In addition, the negligible variable of the newly acquired national independence is added in 1821, therefore the process of consolidation of the state-state will go hand in hand and interact together with the implementation of a political regime and a state model according to the ideasand liberal approaches. The first steps of liberalism in Mexico are characterized by a perennial situation of instability, mainly in the political plot.
This translates into a complex succession of evolutions, involvements, revolutions, counterrevolutions, military surveys/pronouncements, conflicts of all kinds, persecution and intolerance over political rivals, failed government projects and an innumerable legal and legislative production, the result of a period,Apart from unstable, initial, experimentation, learning and marked by the immaturity of the political system put in Liza in its beginnings.
In purity, the production and the search for a base text that will consolidate the Mexican nation will manifest this constant instability in a visible way. From the effective emancipation of the Spanish colonial domain in 1821, until the Constituent Congress of 1856-1857 has elapsed, the Spanish Constitution of 1812, the Mexican Federal Constitution of 1824, were elaborated and had valid.
The equally centralist organic bases of 1843, the Act of Reforms of 1847 again under federal approaches and the constitutional text of 1857. Within this irregular evolutionary process, two factors that are also related and that are an integral part of the definition of the same come into play. On the one hand the progressive appearance of groups/factions associated with liberal ideas, with visible and differentiated ideological and discursive lines.
They lead to the formation of political parties. Although this is an explanation that simplifies a historical panorama of greater complexity, it is possible to agree that in this period a political space defined by a duality or bipolarity is activated in terms of ancient pure liberals, conservative liberal venus, ancient Scots. On the other hand, the country faces the construction of a new state model with the need for a relay in its ruling classes.
Once the elites linked to the last colonial era must give their privilege positions. The new elite that assumes the visible head role of its community in the new political institutions that are being formed and consolidated, presents clearly differentiated characteristics with respect to the above. Although there are certain leaks and continuities in the defining features of its sociological models and in the qualities of this leading group.
conclusion
The fundamental objectives of this study focus on political actors, both from the perspective of elitism that underlies the status of leadership and representation of the community, and from the ability to transcend this leadership towards the formation of economic, social power groups of economic power, social, social, cultural and political that can monopolize for generations their uses and abuse. The inclusion variable in this political elite is marked by access to national parliamentary seats.
