HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE CONSTITUTION OF 1824 AND ITS EVOLUTION IN THE MEXICAN LEGAL SYSTEM

Abstract

This paper encompasses an examination of the evolution of human rights in the Mexican constitutional system, starting from the Constitution of 1824, which marks its 200th anniversary, to the acknowledgment of these rights in the Constitutions of 1857 and 1917, as well as the current legal framework that proposes a protective system for human dignity, following the 2011 reform. The aim of this work is to serve as a reflection for the reader on the social and legal struggles experienced in Mexico, aiming to, by 2024, enjoy the institutions and rights we possess, and, above all, demand the responsible fulfillment of these rights, which have been the result of over 200 years of struggle. It seeks to reconsider the challenges faced by Mexican constitutionalism regarding human rights.
