Abstract
In 1808 the crisis of the throne happened in New Spain, and so affairs concerning with independence started. The way to achieve it was to summon a board of kingdom’s representatives prepared to regain sovereignty. Independence projects formulated between 1808 and 1821 were all monarchic, except the Chilpancingo Congress overture. There were many variations in the nature of the proposals; they were trying to redefine the cohesive bonds with the catholic monarchy. The variety of projects propounded included a monarchic confederation, a monarchic federation with regional autonomy, an absolutist regime, a constitutional system according to the Spanish Constitution or with one of their own. It was set the king to be a member of the royal Borbón House, from a new rising dynasty or from Moctezuma’s descendent. Anyhow, the process of independence was set in a monarchic clime.
