Mexico had the first socialist constitution of the 20th century: it prohibited foreign control of national resources, guaranteed rights to workers, and practically placed a ban on the Catholic Church from its historic public role.

True / False.

Answer: True

Explanation: The Mexican Constitution, more specifically, the United Mexican States Constitution, established the social rights of citizens and marked a change in some traditional views and policies, thus tracing the socialism of 20th century Mexico. Such a Mexican Constitution was enacted on February 5, 1917, which means before such a Constitution in Russia and in other countries. This Constitution was drafted during the Mexican Revolution and was finally drafted in Santiago de Querétaro, before it was officially proclaimed the Constitution of Mexico on February 5, 1917, and is the successor to the 1857 Constitution. This means that it is true that Mexico had the first Socialist Constitution in the 20th century, even before Russia, and it is interesting that this Mexican Constitution served to some extent as a model for the Socialist Constitution that would later be adopted in Russia, that is, in the Soviet Union.
