Laws, institutions and authorities, would now be designed so that the creoles and their greedy european partners could exploit natural resources, especially mining and oil, and the indigenous and mestizo masses that still could not find accommodation in the new society and had no real rights. The colonial system that was built over three centuries ceased functioning. 80% of "Mexicans" at the beginning of the 19th century had indigenous origin; but the laws, institutions, authorities and its civilization, not even remotely had the right to design the new nation that creoles wanted to create.
