The correct answer is:
Conservatives and liberals had opposing views of government.
Explanation:
Mexico's independence from Spain in 1821 came with a crisis because the country had suffered a great deal during the war, near a half million Mexicans had died, the economic activities (agricultural and industrial) was weakened during the war, and the creation of a new country brought two political groups: <em>conservatives </em><u><em>who wanted to continue Spain's form of government </em></u>, and<em> liberals </em><u><em>who wanted to create a democratic republic.</em></u>
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.
During 1968, the turmoil created chaos, political, and civil rights problems caused by race segregation protests. A media report gave information on a speech given by the Speaker of the Democratic Party on behalf of the running President. It left a negative impact when he opted of violence using police force strategies to end the protests while people riot for their rights. It turned the tide in favor of the Republicans President Nixon and George Wallace.
