A Call to Civic Minded Militia Elections in Provincial Guanajuato on the First Day of Independent Mexico An Early Small Step Toward Representative Government: Elect Good Officials and the Soldiers Will Be Good Issued the day after Agust n de Iturbide s Army of the Three Guarantees triumphantly entered Mexico City and the Acta de Independencia was formally proclaimed (27 September 1821), this rare provincial manuscript declaration captures a remarkable convergence of military organization, republican principle, and local self-governance at a pivotal moment in Mexican history. In this signed public notice, Captain Camilo Camacho (1791-1842), then commander of the 3rd. Company of Infantry (Tercera compa a de infanter a) at Ac mbaro and later a deputy to the 1822 constituent congress who aligned with federalist causes, announces two locally important civic events concretely reflecting notions of representative leadership: 30 September: the first assembly of his infantry company, to be held in the Plaza de Guadalupe of Ac mbaro. 4 October: a popular election to choose the company s officers, sergeants, and corporals. Addressing the public directly, Camacho warns that a people not yet sufficiently enlightened in its rights must take seriously its new political responsibilities." He exhorts voters to choose wisely, summarizing the stakes in a line that distills the civic-military ethos of the insurgent movement: "Elijamos buenos oficiales y todos los soldados ser n buenos." If the election falls on men without talent, education, or a firm love of country, the company will become indolent, apathetic, and neglected; but the opposite will be true if the captain and officers possess the necessary qualities. The document reflects the influence of the liberal principles set forth in the Spanish Constituci n de C diz of 1812, which introduced the idea of elective militia officers and affirmed popular sovereignty. But here in the immediate first hours of an independent Mexico, Camacho and his contemporaries sought to embed such principles in local governance and military organization. The emphasis on civic virtue, merit, and patriotic commitment offers a revealing glimpse into how independence was being translated into practice on the ground in regions like the Baj o at a very early date for Mexico. Perhaps ironically such regional expressions of political autonomy eventually helped unravel Mexico's first independent government. According to historian Timothy E. Anna: What happened is that Iturbide's empire was destroyed by the same force of regional autonomy and aspirations to regional power that brought independence in the first place. Running from Upper California to Costa Rica, the Mexican Empire, on paper at least, was the second-largest country in the New World. In the guise of a centralized empire, the regime over which Iturbide presided, though it never recognized provincial self-government, could not prevent and actually helped encourage the ongoing dispersion of separate political identities - Forging Mexico: 1821-1835, page 89.
