Plan of Tacubaya

Plan of Tacubaya (Spanish: Plan de Tacubaya) was issued by conservative General Félix Zuloaga on 17 December 1857 in Tacubaya against the radical liberal Constitution of 1857 that among other provisions abolished special privileges (fueros) of the Catholic Church and the army. President Ignacio Comonfort, a moderate liberal, joined with Zuloaga, commander of the garrison in the capital, and closed congress, which had been elected under the new constitution. Comonfort failed to create a moderate regime and undermined his support with liberals with his repudiation of the new constitution and the congress. Zuloaga then repudiated Comonfort on 11 January 1858, which led to a three-year civil war between conservatives and liberals.[1][2]
