Answer 3

Hello, I'm Armando. "Mas si osare un extraño enemigo" In this case "mas" means pero (but), the accent in más indicates that más means more and distincts más (more) from mas (but).

The hymn was created after the colonial period, when the criollos controlled the politics of the country. Mexico wasn't a nation before the arrival of the spaniards. The territory of mesoamerica was inhabited by different indigenous groups, so there wasn't Mexico. Mexico was created after the mix of cultures, saying that a strange enemy was a spaniard means the assumption that the spaniards conquered an nonexistent country.

The judge didn't allow it, because naming a child masiosare is very duh!, and it only shows the ignorance of many people about their hymn.

Answer 4

Mas si osare- if someone dares
