Mexico’s Government
A debate rose when Mexico gained independents on how it should be governed. The two sides were Federalists and Centralists. Federalists took power first and wrote a new constitution for Mexico in 1824 that would affect Texas.
Constitution of 1824
The official religion was Catholicism, It was a Federal Republic, It divided Mexico into 19 States, and it created the state of Coahuila, y Tejas.
State Constitution Law of 1825
The Goal of the Constitution law was to gather colonists to move to Texas without an empresario by giving them up to 4,428 acres of land for just $30. Most people still chose to use an empresario because they didn’t speak the language.
