Mexico’s independence took place in the revolutionary context of the Liberal Triennium. That time was a laboratory of political ideas and projects that defined the transformation of the viceroyalty of New Spain into an imperial nation-state. The political route of this path was shaped by the application of the Cadiz liberal legislation that, without being the only one, acted as a trigger for a process that will transform the structures of the old colony facing the resistance that the revolution itself generated. From the formation of the Junta Provisional Gubernativa and until the end of the empire, different political proposals follow one another that propose the formation of an independent and liberal State, and that must be related to the anti-liberal projects that fought to resist those changes. The work we propose raises a hitherto little-explored approach to the process of Mexican independence based on the revolution-counterrevolution dialectic. In this sense, not only the political debates and discourses of change will be analyzed, but also those alternatives that confronted it.

Palabras llave : liberalism; counterrevolution; Mexico independence; Junta Provisional Gubernativa; political ideas.
