The Provisional Governing Junta was the first governing body of independent Mexico that administered the country from 28 September 1821, until 24 February 1822, [1] when the First Mexican Congress was installed.

Contents

The Provisional Government Junta originated in virtue of two articles in the Plan of Iguala which established an independent Mexican state.

Administration

The Junta first met on the morning of 28 September 1821, being joined by former viceroy O'Donoju. Iturbide laid out an agenda, and pledged his loyalty and that of the army to obey the Junta's directions. The members of the junta then proceeded to the National Cathedral, each swore an oath to uphold the Plan of Iguala and the Treaty of Cordoba. In the afternoon, an official declaration of independence was issued, and a regency was formed to serve as the executive. [2]
