In the article “Mexico: Revolution and Stability” (by Williamson) there’s a sense of the forthcoming of the Mexican Revolution. There are disagreements within the government and the mentioning of two parties: the caudillos and the cientificos. The presence of these two groups is important because they represent (and speak for) the people.
In our second article, “Diaz Elects a governor,” the mentioning of the caudillos and the cientificos is further elaborated, as well as what might have led to the Mexican Revolution.
Your task for this assignment is twofold. First answer briefly your understanding of caudillos and cientificos. Then come up with an analogy of these two groups (in our country) and express why their presence is important.
On the other hand, you may want to look at your native country to come up with this analogy.
