Summary
Article 39 of the Mexican Constitution of 1857 or Leyes de Reforma, enacted by Mexican liberals in the midst of decades of strife and foreign intervention, remains one of the key political texts in the country’s history: “La soberanía nacional reside esencial y originariamente en el pueblo. Todo poder público dimana del pueblo y se instituye para su beneficio. El pueblo tiene en todo tiempo el inalienable derecho de alterar o modificar la forma de su gobierno” [National sovereignty resides essentially and originally in the people.
