The politics of Mexico function within the framework of a federal presidential representative democratic republic whose government is based on a multi-party congressional system,where the President of Mexico is both head of state and head of government. The federal government represents the United Mexican States. It is divided into three branches:executive,legislative,and judicial,established by the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States,published in 1917. The constituent states of the federation must also have a republican government based on a congressional system established by their respective constitutions.
The Institutional Revolutionary Party is a political party in Mexico that was founded in 1929 as the National Revolutionary Party,then as the Party of the Mexican Revolution and finally as the PRI beginning in 1946.
