population, is impracticabe No government has existed
in Mexico since The time of her independence which did

power by force Mexico when she achieved independence
did not achieve the blessings of liberty. Her failure to
establish civil and social order has been assigned to

consists of the Indian African, and Spanish inter

from Great britain, America from tile
minion of Portugal The latter merely political
separations and did not affect the social condition and
civil rights of the people The American colonies enjoyed
liberty under their respective charters before the decara-

federal union like that of the United States, she may OBJ

that of Brazil for that experiment tried by 1urbide
