Question 18 SA-3. Here is the text (p. 170/2):
Huerta was finally defeated in 1914, and Carranza became president at
the head of the coalition of Constitutionalists. For the first time since
Independence radical mestizos, at the head of large numbers of Indigenous,
had wrested power away from the creole elite. Carranza was able to consolidate
his power by accepting some of the more radical proposals made by Zapata
and others. These were institutionalized in the revolutionary constitution
of 1917, which included such far-reaching provisions as land reform, social
security protection for workers, restrictions on the power and wealth of
the Church, and nationalization of oil and mineral riches.
