Regarding The Mexican Constitution of 1857. The 1857 Mexican Constitution was considered a liberal document, guaranteeing the rights of speech and of the press, the right to assembly and the right to bear arms. It also curbed the power of the Catholic church, causing deep differences of opinion with Conservatives. The result of the 1857 Constitution was the Reform War, a three-year civil war which, although eventually won by the Liberals, was soon overthrown by Conservatives as they installed Maximilian as their monarch during the Second French Intervention period.

3. A nearby, additional marker on the 100th anniversary of the Mexican Army in 2013
This additional marker is interesting in that it takes the creation of the Mexican Army from the Mexican Revolution in 1913, probably as a way to differentiate it from the post-independence armies that were allied with different individual leaders or factions.
