Este artículo aborda este fenómeno en el periodo del proceso de independencia. Las juntas, los congresos,  los gobiernos siempre podrían ser cuestionados. El regreso de Fernando VII al trono y su incapacidad para restablecer el orden anterior a 1808 dio cuenta de que el proceso de discusión del orden político, una vez iniciado, no tenía marcha atrás.El Colegio de México, A.C.2009-07-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://historiamexicana.colmex.mx/index.php/RHM/article/view/1799Historia Mexicana; Vol. 59, Núm. 1 (233) julio-septiembre 2009; 77-1162448-65310185-0172reponame:Historia Mexicanainstname:EL COLEGIO DE MÉXICOinstacron:COLMEXspahttps://historiamexicana.colmex.mx/index.php/RHM/article/view/1799/1617Derechos de autor 2016 Historia Mexicanainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:oai.historiamexicana.colmex.mx:article/17992024-08-16T21:55:17Z
