The Mexican Constituent Congress was established on 24 February 1822 and was tasked with drafting a constitution for the Mexican Empire.[67][105] In November 1821, the Mexican government decided on the electoral procedures to select representatives for the Constituent Congress and that it would consist of 162 members, but after Central America joined the empire, Iturbide wanted to extent representation to the region. Due to unreliable demographical data at the time, Iturbide reluctantly allowed Central America to have 40 representatives in the Constituent Congress, which he thought was a "prudent" amount.[106] Despite being allowed to have 40 representatives, only 38 were elected.
