MEXICO CITY — President Felipe Calderon’s National Action Party has revived a proposal to change the country’s formal name, which is now “The United States of Mexico.” In casual use, few people use the title adopted in 1824. The bill was submitted Tuesday, a day before Mexico celebrates the bicentennial of its independence. The name reflects the desire of Mexico’s founders to create a federalist system like that of their northern neighbor. The new name would be just Mexico.
