Plan of Tacubaya


Plan of Tacubaya, also known as Tacubaya Plan or War of the Three Years (Spanish: Plan de Tacubaya) was formulated to abolish the Reform Laws by Benito Juárez. In Mexico the new constitution was rejected by a large part of society, which had the support of the clergy and the army. Comonfort, aware of the limitations imposed by the new regime, proposed reforms to strengthen the government and mitigate "radical" measures; however, Congress rejected them. Given the delicate situation, Félix Zuloaga and other generals convinced Comonfort to convene another congress to draft a new constitution more in keeping with the customs of the nation. On December 17, 1857, Zuloaga proclaimed the Plan of Tacubaya. Comonfort joined the Plan of Tacubaya, which began the three-year war.

The laws enacted by Benito Juárez in Veracruz, while besieging the port, known as Reform Laws, finally established the separation of Church and State. The July 12, 1859 was enacted nationalization of church property, the 23, the Civil Marriage Act, the Organic Law 28 Civil Registry and the Law on the civil status of persons, and 31, the decree stating that any intervention by the clergy ceased in cemeteries and graveyards. August 11 The holidays were regulated and prohibited government assistance to the functions of the Church. A year later, on December 4, 1860, was issued the Law on religious freedom. These laws were the beginning of a new era in politics, economics and culture. But while these arrangements became reality, the civil war had exhausted and impoverished the country.
