dec 1, 1931 - Second Reforms: Republic Constitution
Description:
The new constitution was the first 'policy' passed but caused conservatives to worry that it was too democratic wanting a "democratic republic of workers". The constitution allowed for women's suffrage, laws of marriage and divorce. Mainly, the constitution was established to target key areas: army, church, industrial and agricultural worker problems, and regional autonomy. The first policy that they passed after there were policy differences. It permitted the state to seize private property, with compensation. It created a secular democratic system based on equal rights for all citizens, with provision for regional autonomy. The constitution was criticized by the most religious sectors of the population as anticlerical or oppressive regarding the right-wing Roman Catholics. But, the Constitution broadly granted civil liberties.
