The purpose of this essay is to analyze the Mexican Constitution of 1824 as a consequence of the Constitution of Cadiz, promulgated in Spain in 1812. For this reason, the writing begins by underlining the historical context of Spain at the time of the dissemination of its Constitution, and goes on to mention the group of creoles in the viceroyalty of New Spain. The French military incursion into Spanish territory is analysed, as are the liberal ideas that arose as a reaction to the forced establishment of a foreign monarch. As for America, the participation of delegates in the Cortes of Cadiz and the adaptation of the model of provinces and councils to the territory of New Spain are discussed.
