Plan of Ayala
- Description:
- Emiliano Zapata and Otilio Montaño composed this plan and it was signed on 25 November 1911. This plan is considered as a magna carta for the Zapatistas. In this plan, Zapata and his followers clearly break with Madero and his percieved reconciliatory stance. According to the description of the WDL the plan put forward the following demands, "restitution of lands taken from villages during the Porfiriato, and agrarian redistribution of the larger haciendas, with compensation. Zapatista peasants, based in the southern state of Morelos, would claim these rights by arms, continuing the rebellion started, but not completed, by Madero."
