Abstract

In the last years we assist a progressive revision of the historiographic topics of the political history, feed by the changes operated in the way of studying nationalities. This revision has insisted in the political and cultural nature of the independence revolutions, in the structural confl ict between fragmentary sovereignty and necessarily rivals since the empire crisis and in the determination of the national identities all along the processes of state organization. This article goes deep in the why and how the independence movements of the first years of the 19th century, told of the recomposition of the sovereignty sense, witch turned from a monist conception of power to an American political imaginary, putting as central theme the argumentative exercise of sovereignty in the rising states of the Mexican central occidental region (mainly Jalisco y Zacatecas) during the First Republic in Mexico.
