This decree provides Santa Anna's argument for the necessity of new elections and gives his approval of the Zavaleta plan to accomplish this goal. The tract then lists ten articles spelling out the details, including procedures concerning the elections of individuals to serve in the State Congress, president and vice-president, and two senators to the National Congress. As a result of the elections, Santa Anna was elected President. <BR><BR>In one instance here Veramendi is incorrectly identified as vice governor; he was actually governor at the time, having taken up his duties as governor on December 18, 1832. Voting was held in the various states and carried out without opposition, resulting in Santa Anna's election as president of Mexico. Red half-calf case with gilt lettering on spine. Clean and sharp, in very fine condition. <I>From the collection of Darrel Brown.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Reference:</B></I> Streeter <I>Texas</B></I> 789. Locating only his copy. Eberstadt 162:876.
