Scarce San Luis Potosi printing of the Mexican "bases constitucionales," issued by Santa Anna in 1835 after he assumed power, which led to the centralization of authority in Mexico and deemphasized the role of individual states. Called the "Siete Leyes" after the were enacted, the laws concerning the organization and authority of the federal government replaced the original Constitution of 1824. Not in OCLC, though we do find a smattering of other issues printed elsewhere in Mexico.
