🇲🇽 Calles Law

Calles Law, enacted in 1926, was a Mexican law that prohibited the re-election of President Plutarco Elías Calles, but it effectively allowed him to maintain control over the country through a proxy president. The law also reinforced anti-clerical policies, restricting the role of the Catholic Church in Mexico. It led to the Cristero War, a violent conflict between the Mexican government and Catholic rebels.
