The Plan de Ayala was drafted by Emiliano Zapata and his supporters in 1911 and was a response to Francisco I. Madero's Plan of San Luis. In the Plan of Ayala, Zapata was denouncing Madero and defined what Zapatismo's core beliefs were. In sum, it called for land reform and freedom, two of the main issues in Mexico at the time. Zapata also wrote the Plan de Ayala due to the betrayal of Madero and was used to draw support from peasant groups which evidently worked in his favor. The Plan consisted of fifteen main points and denounces Madero as unfit to be President of Mexico and accusing him of attempting to implement practices of the Diaz administration, who was the previous ruler of Mexico. One of the most famous points is land reform, which the Plan de Ayala calls for all lands stolen under Diaz to be returned to the people. Overall, at the Convention of Aguascalientes, some of Zapata's delegates had a couple of the provisions in the Plan accepted, but they were not fully implemented or considered. The Plan de Ayala had become a significant document in the issues of land reform among the lower class.
