Stories Bigger Than Texas: The Alamo Podcast!
Episode 55: Mexican Constitution Of 1824

In October 1824 - 200 years ago this month - the people of Mexico drafted their first Constitution. It’s known today as the Mexican Constitution of 1824.

We reveal why history remembers this document, how it led to the key players in the Alamo’s story making their way to Texas, and why what happened to the Constitution just a decade later helped spark the Texas Revolution. Featuring the Alamo's Senior Curator, Historian & Lecturer Ernesto Rodriguez and Dr. David Carlson from the Spanish Archives of Bexar County.
