People Of The Mexican Revolution
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of p ...

Confederation Of Independent Revolutionary Party
A confederation (also known as a confederacy or league) is a union of sovereign groups or states united for purposes of common action. Usually created by a treaty, confederations of states tend to be established for dealing with critical issues, such as defense, foreign relations, internal trade or currency, with the central government being required to provide support for all its members. Confederalism represents a main form of intergovernmentalism, which is defined as any form of interaction around states which takes place on the basis of sovereign independence or government. The nature of the relationship among the member states constituting a confederation varies considerably. Likewise, the relationship between the member states and the general government and the distribution of powers among them varies. Some looser confederations are similar to international organisations. Other confederations with stricter rules may resemble federal systems. Since the member states of ...

National Anti-Reelectionist Party
The Progressive Constitutionalist Party ( es, Partido Constitucional Progresista), known by its acronym, PCP, was a liberal political party that existed between 1909 and 1913. Positioned in the political centre of Mexican politics, it drew ideologically from social liberalism, as well as economic liberalism. The party was formed as the conservative wing of the former Liberal Party (but not as conservative as the Liberal Party itself under Porfirio Diaz) which in the early twentieth century had splintered into more radical factions, represented by the PLM. The Party was originally founded in 1909 as the National Anti-Reelectionist Party (Spanish: ''Partido Nacional Antirreeleccionista'') and was rebranded in 1911 as the PCP. Ideology The guiding principle of the party was constitutionalism, seeking to reestablish the supremacy of the Federal Constitution of 1857 and the rule of law after thirty years of dictatorship of General Porfirio Díaz. The PCP was also a liberal pro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
