Congress of Chilpancingo The Congress of Chilpancingo (a.k.a. Congress of Anáhuac) (Spanish: "Congreso de Chilpancingo" ) was a meeting held in Chilpancingo, in what is the modern-day Mexican state of Guerrero, from September to November 1813. The result of this meeting was that Mexico formally declared itself to be independent of Spain and what was later to become the first national constitution was ratified.

It was composed of representatives of the provinces under his control and charged with considering a political and social program which he outlined in a document entitled "Sentimientos de la Nación" ("Feelings of the Nation").
