The Constitutional Elements were a set of guidelines as a constitution project for Mexico (then still Viceroyalty of New Spain), drafted in April 1812, during the Mexican War of Independence by General Ignacio López Rayón, and circulated as of September 4, 1812,[1] in Zinacantepec, State of Mexico, in order to establish the idea of a nation independent of Spain. It is considered as a direct antecedent and a source of creation of the Sentimientos de la Nación of José María Morelos and of the subsequent Constitution of 1824.[2] It is the oldest antecedent of Mexican constitutionalism.[3]
