Welcome to “Si Se Pudo!” The Constituent Congress of Mexico, 1917. This committee is set in the Gran Teatro Iturbide in the city of Santiago de Querétaro. Under President Venustiano Carranza's direction, the resultant 1917 Constitution represented a dramatic turn toward progressive changes. The revolutionary values of social justice and national sovereignty were reflected in it, along with other important ideas like labor rights, land redistribution, and secular education. The 1917 Constitution created a foundation that will shape Mexico's political environment for many years to come, laying the foundations for current laws and government. Delegates will be pushed to work together in the creation of this constitution while touching upon the main issues facing Mexico. Although you all stand together in the formation of a stronger country, you’ll all have differing ideas on how to get there.
My name is Estrella Hernandez-Arzate and I have the pleasure of being the Chair of this committee. I am a third year student here at KU, majoring in Philosophy and Sociology with a minor in business. This is also my third year doing Model UN and hope that you all find this experience as enjoyable as I have. Last year I was given the opportunity to co-chair and deeply enjoyed the experience.
