The Ley Juárez is a significant legal reform enacted in Mexico in 1855. Named after the prominent politician Benito Juárez, the law aimed to eliminate special privileges for the clergy and the military, promoting equality before the law. It was part of a broader movement to modernize the Mexican legal system and reduce the influence of the Catholic Church in governance. This legislation was a key element of the Liberal Reform, which sought to establish a secular state and protect individual rights. The Ley Juárez laid the groundwork for subsequent reforms, influencing Mexico's political landscape and contributing to the eventual establishment of a constitutional republic.
