The Laws of Mexico

Více o knize

Focusing on the evolution of Mexican law, this compilation organizes legal sources from Spain's medieval code to Mexico's 1870 Civil Code. It addresses key issues like trade, property, agrarian rights, and contracts, relevant both in Mexico and territories ceded to the U.S. The book opens with a translation of the 1857 Constitution and is divided into three sections: Spanish Crown lands, individual property rights pre-Civil Code, and the rights established by the 1870 Civil Code. A new introduction by legal scholar Peter L. Reich enhances its relevance.
