D. seizing church lands, allowing private education, and abolishing minimum-wage laws.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A) breaking up large estates, providing free education, and establishing minimum-wage laws.

The Mexican Constitution of 1917 sought to protect democratic rule by breaking up large estates, providing free education, and establishing minimum-wage laws.

One of the most important and historical moments in modern México was the signing of the new Constitution that today still rules the country. The Constitution of 1917 was signed on February 5, 1917, in the city of Querétaro, marking the end of the bloody Mexican Revolution that deposed the dictator Porfirio Díaz. This new Constitution substituted the Constitution of 1857, with modern ideas of democracy, social justice, and freedom.

Answer 2

A. breaking up large estates, providing free education, and establishing minimum-wage laws.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Constitution of 1917, still in force right around 100 years later, has 137 articles. These characterize citizenship, organize a government, mandate land reform, and enumerate basic human rights for all Mexicans. Divided into ten thematic titles, the Constitution lists human rights, defines national citizenship, outlines associated rights, and specifies freedoms of foreigners residing in the country.

It sets up the administration, public service and social welfare, and Mexico City as the capital, with the Federal District a different entity, aside from state jurisdiction.
