Answer 1

The correct answer is:

Conservatives and liberals had opposing views of government.

Struggle between this two groups was the main political challenge after Mexico gained independence and became a new country. Conservatives and liberals not only disagreed on the system of government but also over work, education, the army and the influence of the Church over the government and there was no political unity.
