article 5
editIn the Spanish version [1] the text includes the following passage: la soberania... ...reside en la persona del señor don Fernando VII y su ejercicio...
I do not see this text in the English version. Would someone please look up the primary sources, if they have them available, because the addition of the royal person gives a completely different (monarchist) orientation of the "Sentiments of the Nation" and therefore, must be reflected appropriately. — Preceding unsigned comment added by --Aceofhearts1968 (talk) 22:50, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
Articles 5, 6
editAccording to Wikipedia:
5. Sovereignty emanates from the people and is placed in a Supreme National American Congress, made up of representatives from the provinces in equal numbers. 6. Division of powers into appropriate executive, legislative, and judicial branches.
But according to José Maria Morelos, “Sentiments of the Nation” (1813), 189-191. From The Mexico Reader: History, Culture, Politics, ed. Gilbert M. Joseph and Timothy J. Henderson (Durham, N.C.: Duke University Press, 2002).
5. That sovereignty springs directly from the People, who wish only to de posit it in their representatives, whose powers shall be divided into Legislative, Executive, and Judiciary branches, with each Province electing its representative. These representatives will elect all others, who must be wise and virtuous people.... 6. [Article 6 is missing from all reproductions of this document. Ed.]
It seems to me that Wikipedia took article 5 and split it to fill the empty article six while conserving the number of articles. If that is the case, then this issue may need corrected. I have access to a source if needed.--134.10.79.217 (talk) 04:18, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
