turn
After the proclamation of independence in 1821, he turned to one of the most prominent representatives of the Partido Liberal . In 1822 he was elected to the provincial parliament of El Salvador. Prado was against the annexation to the Mexican empire under Agustín de Itúrbide .
From May 25, 1823 to April 22, 1824 he was Supremo Director of the Province of El Salvador.
From October 1 to December 13, 1824 he was Supremo Director of the Province of El Salvador.
from November 1, 1826 to January 30, 1829 he was Supremo Director of the Province of El Salvador. In this third term of office, Mariano Prado Baca came into conflict with the government of the Central American Confederation under Manuel José Arce y Fagoaga . Arce had the federal parliament dissolved in October 1826 and relied on the liberal government of the province of Guatemala. In 1827 Prado declared war on the Federation, after which the province of El Salvador was occupied by troops from Arce. In the following two years the conflict took a frequently changing course. Finally, the members of the Partido Liberal, including Prado, came to an agreement with Francisco Morazán, who had Guatemala City, the capital of the Federation, in his power in 1829 and had the members of the Partido Conservador deported.
Francisco Morazán was elected President of the Confederation in 1830 and made Mariano Prado Baca his deputy. In 1832 Francisco Morazán occupied the province of El Salvador in order to throw José María Cornejo Merino y Guevara from the office of Supremo Director , as he had proclaimed the separation from the Confederation, and set Mariano Prado Baca as Supremo Director of the province of El Salvador.
This fourth term was from July 25, 1832 to July 1, 1833. Prado reformed the judiciary and introduced income and property taxes. As a result there were protests in Izalco and San Miguel . The most lasting protest was from Santiago Nonualco , the people from this place visited their Supremo Director at home in San Vicente. Whereupon he fled El Salvador on January 9, 1933, before the end of his term of office. The office of Supremo Director came back into the hands of his predecessor and deputy Joaquín de San Martín y Ulloa, member of the Partido Conservador . Hubert Howe Bancroft explains that Anastasio Mártir Aquino San Carlos was allied with the Serviles , as the Partido Conservador was then called
In 1835, Mariano Prado Baca was elected to the Confederation Parliament.
