Unlike Madero before him, Carranza realized that to stay alive he needed to issue some change. [21] Since he was a constitutionalist he had many reforms that he wanted to issue in a constitution. Often constitutions are the culmination of a revolution, theoretically a constitution should benefit all, but few do. Once Carranza was viewed as the new president of Mexico a constitution team met to draft his reforms and policies. In the Constitution of 1917 the government was given the power to control education, farming, oil, property, the church, and exports. The president's power was limited through the allowing of only one term and an unheard of reform was created when labor unions were allowed to be formed. Now the only significant resistance to the Carranza administration was Zapata and his followers. To solve his problem Carranza set up a meeting, about incorporating Zapata's reforms into his presidency. During this meeting Carranza and his men successfully killed Emiliano Zapata, but his followers would soon catch up with Carranza. During a revolt against Carranza in 1920 for not following through on reforms, Zapatians killed Carranza in his attempt to flee Mexico from the revolutionaries. Mexico would finally see what it thought was peace and order when Aluvaro Obregon was elected president, ending the revolution.

Once people join together and see the better side of life they often want change and revolutionary groups take action against the system, hoping to discard the existing one. Initiated in 1910 under the Plan of San Luis by Francisco Madero the Mexican Revolution started, one hundred years after the expulsion of the Spanish from Mexico. Including the Zapatians and their fight for lost land over 15,000 natives had taken up arms by 1911. These band destroyed railroads, estates, and wealthy towns. A major military leader "Pancho" Villa rose up with his "Horse Soldiers", landless Indians or underpaid miners, who raided the rich and used to money to buy more guns and ammunition. In May of 1911 Madero and Villa jointly captured Ciudad Juarez their first major victory, it also acted as a gateway to the U.S. since it was a border city. Soon after, the Treaty of Juarez was drafted Diaz, Limantour, and Corall agreed to resign. With overwhelming support Madero and V.P. Jose Maria Pino Juarez were brought into office. It seemed that the revolution had accomplished its main goal, to bring about a change in the political leadership, [17] but a problem still was apparent, there was a new president but no reforms. Madero would face many other problems during his presidency. The wealthy, reactionaries wanted the Diaz administration back in order, the poor still strived for land redistribution to free them from their slavery and allow them to again make money and eat food. [18] Madero also faced the ridicule of the newly uncensored press, and he lost the support of the wealthy who saw him as a radical. He spoke of many reforms for the betterment of the majority in Mexico, but little change was seen and an anti-Madero feeling began to spread. [19] Zapata and Pascual Orozco began to draft up "The Plan of Ayala," to overthrow Madero. Together Zapata and Orozco with a large number of troops began to march to Mexico City to rid of Madero. In retaliation Madero went to a high-ranking general to fight the revolutionaries armies. General Victoriano Huerta was a no mercy general, but he was also known as a man aiming for power over Mexico. Madero gave Huerta one million pesos to ri
