| 總結: | Benito Juarez, when recently appointed Minister of Justice, decreed on November 23rd, 1855, the so-called “Ley Juárez”, which gave place to many opinions in favor and against it. Opinions against the law arose originally in affected sectors—the Church, the Army, and the Supreme Court of Justice—, for it had three essential points of political importance: the supression of privileges, the organization of the Supreme Court, and the creation of the Tribunal Superior del Distrito Federal (Superior Court of the Federal District). The controversy went far beyond its time, for it included, on the one hand, a strong discussion within the old political class and the press of the time, and on the other, opinions from much later scholars, both followers and detractors.
