1828 CE to 1839 CE

Upon assuming dictatorial powers, Santa Anna promptly annuls Gómez Farías's reforms and abolishes the constitution of 1824.

The authoritarian principles that underlie Santa Anna's rule are subsequently codified in the constitution of 1836, also known as the Siete Leyes (Seven Laws).

Under the constitution of 1836, Mexico becomes a centralist regime in which power is concentrated in the president and his immediate subordinates.

The states of the former federal republic are refashioned as military districts administered by regional caudillos appointed by the president, and property qualifications are decreed for congressional officeholders and voters.
