History Of The Mexican State?

- In 1823, the Mexican Congress passed a resolution that Mexico should become one nation under one government with one constitution for all states under its jurisdiction. On December 12 of that year, Mexico adopted a new federal constitution which established a federal republic that would be governed by institutions common to each of the individual states.
