ORTIZ, Francisco Hernández. The oath to the Constitution of 1857 by public instruction teachers in San Luis Potosí, 1890. Mexico. Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2023, vol.22, e173.  Epub 07-Ago-2023. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v22-2023-173.

The objective of this work is to analyse the ritual of the oath to the Constitution of 1857 by teachers of the public education system, as officials of the Liberal Mexican State, specifically in the state of San Luis Potosí in 1890. The historical reconstruction was done with the consultation of primary sources such as minutes of the swearing-in ceremonies to the Constitution, trades and reports of the political leaders of the City Councils, with support in secondary sources, and with the application of comparative techniques. The socio-historical and political context of 1890 in which these ceremonies were carried out is also located. The oath, as a republican ceremony, implied a commitment to liberal constitutional ideals. It is corroborated that the school, as a public institution, where students go to appropriate culture, is also where national values are built and a sense of belonging to the nation is forged.
