After the Mexican Revolution, Venustiano Carranza ordered for a Mexican constitution that would remove dictatorial powers from the government and benefit the working class, and implemented the right for the government to confiscate land from rich landowners. ”Carranza, president again, presided over the writing of the constitution of 1917, which conferred dictatorial powers on the president but gave the government the right to confiscate land from wealthy landowners, guaranteed workers’ rights, and limited the rights of the Roman Catholic Church” (Britannica). As a result of the writing of the constitution less power was placed in the hands of wealthy landowners, more rights for workers, and less power of the Roman Catholic Church. These changes improved the country's economy by making Wealthy individuals and lower class individuals have the same amount of rights and opportunities.
