The Mexican Constitution of 1917 is significant because it introduced changes that expanded the peoples' rights and civil liberties. The Constitution of 1917 was the first in the country's history to introduce social rights, such as the right to healthcare, and to choose one's vocation. It also limited the powers of the catholic church.

The new constitution made many changes and was the first constitution in history to have social rights, such as the right to healthcare, the right to a place to live, and the right to work in whatever occupation that a person desires. The constitution also limited the powers of the catholic church and turned the nation into a secular state.
