Shortly after the Mexican Independence was consummated, there was an attempt to establish in the brand new country
a government system denominated “Imperio Mexicano” (Mexican Empire), project that gathered the hopes of an optimistic nation about the independence, but also tired for an eleven-year long struggle —which had exhausted the virreynal economy, and destroyed great part of public and private wealth all over the territory of this new nation. One of the
challenges for the new administration was to create budget-control methods, as well as criminal penalties or sanctions to those public functionaries or representatives of the new regime who infringed or circumvented the imperial regulations, or even, in extreme cases, misused the public estate in order to take personal advantage of this. To get it done, there was necessary to use the inherited old control systems and, over the road, try to
set up new instruments of administrative legal control.
