''Sentimientos de la Nación'' ("Feelings of the Nation"; occasionally rendered as "Sentiments of the Nation") was a document presented by José María Morelos y Pavón, leader of the insurgents in the Mexican War of Independence, to the National Constituent Congress in Chilpancingo (modern-day Guerrero) on 14 September 1813. The document set out, in 23 points, Morelos's vision of the future nation of Mexico. #America is free and independent of Spain and all other nations, governments, or monarchies. #The Catholic faith is the sole religion, and no others will be tolerated. #Ministers of religion to survive on tithes and first fruits, with the people owing only devotion and offerings. #Dogma as established by Church hierarchy: Pope, bishops, and priests. #Sovereignty emanates from the people and is placed in a Supreme National American Congress, made up of representatives from the provinces in equal numbers. #Division of powers into appropriate executive, legislative, and judicial branches. #Representatives to serve rotating four year terms. #Adequate remuneration for representatives, not exceeding 8000 pesos. #Jobs to be reserved for Americans only. #No foreigners to be admitted, unless they are artisans capable of sharing their skills and free of all suspicion. #Liberal government to replace tyranny, with the expulsion of the Spaniards. #Laws should promote patriotism and industry, moderate opulence and idleness, and improve the lot and the education of the poor. #Laws should apply to all, with no privileges. #Laws to be drafted and discussed by as many wise men as possible. #That prohibit slavery forever, as the distinction of caste, being all equal and only vice and virtue distinguish an American from the other. #Some of the nation's ports to be open to friendly foreign ships, subject to a 10% levy. #Homes and property to be inviolable. #Torture shall not be permitted. #12 December to be dedicated to the Virgin of Guadalupe, and celebrated. #Foreign troops should not enter the country and, if they do so to render assistance, may not approach the seat of government. #No expeditions beyond the nation's borders to be permitted, particularly overseas expeditions; expeditions in the interior to spread the faith are allowed. #An end to the payment of tributes; a tax of 5% or similar light amount to be levied. #16 September to be consecrated as the anniversary of Independence. ==See also== *Solemn Act of the Declaration of Independence of Northern America 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sentimientos de la Nación」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
