The opening of the 19th century witnessed the creation of an new nation in Latin America, Mexico. Founded on the principles of classic liberalism, Mexico’s evolution as a new nation would be turbulent. Political instability, economic instability and social instability each in their own way failed to provide the firm foundations needed for modernization and progress. As result of this, one might argue that the early 19th century never truly was able to eliminate from Mexico the colonial vestiges that persisted after independence. It was these vestiges that continued to polarize Mexican society and widen the gap between power, privilege, and wealth. However, attempts to arrest these disparities could be found in the agenda of the liberal faction of Mexican politics. One might argue that the seeds of social justice in Mexico was planted by the liberal sector of Mexican politics.
Explain if José Francisco Ponciano Arriaga Leija in his on land reform is an attempt to address social justice (injustices) or not. Provide specific examples from his speech to support or make a case against this.
