Congress of Chilpancingo
The Congress of Chilpancingo, or Congress of Anáhuac, was the first independent legislative assembly of Mexico, convened by José María Morelos at Chilpancingo in September 1813. It formally declared independence from Spain in November 1813 and, after moving under royalist pressure, adopted the Constitution of Apatzingán in 1814. It dispersed after the capture of Morelos in 1815.
