abstract
- This chapter deals with matters related to the federal system in terms of its configuration in the Mexican Constitution and in local constitutions. Regarding the Mexican political system, a brief explanation of its evolution is made. After this, reference is made to the organic configuration of the Mexican municipalities as a government order from the constitutional reform of 1999 and the powers that were assigned to them, in addition to their sources of financing. To conclude, the means of constitutional control that the municipalities have and that they promote before the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation is indicated, in the event that any other order of government (federal or state), power or body violates any of its competences. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.
