| Summary: | This paper analyzes the electoral conflicts between the Liga and Camarilla in the postindependent Yucatán, concentrating in two important aspects which influenced the loss of legitimacy of the federal regime and its fall in 1829: 1) the political rights of the Yucatecan military, established by Spanish constitutionalism, were restricted to passive vote in the state Constitution of 1825, in order to draw a limit between the inferior regime and the federal power represented by the general command; and 2) the Liga designed electoral ordinances which helped in prevent the Camarilla from approaching power.
