The United Mexican States is a federal republic composed of 32 states. According to the Constitution of 1917, the states of the federation are free and sovereign in all matters concerning their internal affairs; each state has constitution. The states of the Mexican Federation are free, sovereign and independent of each other, they are free to govern themselves according to their own laws. The states cannot make alliances with other states or any independent nation without the consent of the whole federation, except those of defense and security arrangements necessary to keep the border states secure in the event of an invasion; the political organization of each state is based on a separation of powers in a congressional system: legislative power is vested in a unicameral congress. Since states have legal autonomy, each has its own penal codes and judicial body. In the Congress of the Union, the federative entities – the States– are each represented by three senators, two elected by universal suffrage on the principle of relative majority and one assigned to the party that obtains the largest minority.

In addition, the federation makes up a constituency in which 32 senators are elected by the method of proportional representation. Federal Deputies, however, do not represent the states, but rather the citizens themselves; the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate together comprise the Congress of the Union. The states are internally divided into municipalities; each municipality is autonomous in its ability to elect its own council. The council is headed by a mayor elected every 3 years with no possibility of immediate reelection; each municipality has a council composed of councilors in terms of population size. The council is responsible, in most cases, to provide all utilities required for its population; this concept, which arises from the Mexican Revolution, is known as a "free municipality". In total there are 2438 municipalities in Mexico. Mexico City held special status within the federation, being a federal district, until January 2016, when Mexico City changed its name from its name called Federal District.

It is the capital of the United Mexican States. Mexico City was separated from the State of Mexico, of which it was the capital, on November 18, 1824, to become the capital of the federation; as such, it belonged not to all of them and to the federation. Therefore, it was the president of Mexico, who represented the federation, who designated its head of government. However, the Federal District received more autonomy in 1997, its citizens were able to elect their chief of government for the first time. In 2016, the Mexican Congress approved a constitutional reform eliminating the Federal District and establishing Mexico City as a autonomous entity on par with the states, becoming the 32nd state of Mexico, but with financial advantages. Unlike the states of the Union, it would receive funds for health. With full autonomy, Mexico City would have its own constitution and its boroughs became municipalities; until the ratification of Mexico City's constitution, the city is still divided for administrative purposes into 16 "delegaciones" or boroughs.

While not equivalent to a municipality or to the concept of a municipio libre, the 16 boroughs have gained significant autonomy, since 2000, the heads of government of the boroughs are elected directly by plurality vote. The second article of the constitution recognizes the multicultural composition of the nation, founded upon the indigenous peoples; the government grants them the right of self - autonomy. According to this article, the indigenous peoples are granted The right to decide their internal forms of social, economic and cultural organization; the nation commits to and demands the constituent states and municipalities to promote the economic and social development of the indigenous communities, as well as an intercultural and bilingual education. According to the General Law of Linguistic Rights of the Indigenous Peoples, the nation recognizes 68 indigenous languages as "national languages", with the same validity as Spanish in the territories in which they are spoken; the indigenous peoples are entitled to request public services in their languages.
