This is an awesome example of not only self governance but self defense. This is why governments don't want citizens to be well armed. A lot of anarchist don't like the constitution but I think this type of self-governing in mexico is much closer to what the constitution was meant to be than what it has become today. I don't think we need a constitution to make us free but we can learn a lot from it.

You are absolutely correct that the constitution does not "free" us. I am not saying we should have a Constitution at all. What I am suggesting is learning from this document as a lot of founding fathers fought hard to make the US as decentralized as possible. The original document played out in real life would look a lot closer to this town in mexico then what is in reality here in the US today.
For example the power structure was meant to be the city's on top then the states and then the federal government. Today we have the exact opposite of that.
To just dismiss something because of preconceived notions does more harm then good. It is really easy to study and learn from things you disagree with.
well you can learn a lot from documents so don't approach it with a closed mind. we can learn something from anything
