Question

Describe the similarities between the Texas Constitution of 1836 and the Constitution of the United States. Explain
why the Texans drafted their constitution so quickly.

Answer 1

Answer:

In many ways, the U.S. and Texas Constitutions are similar documents. They both embody the principles of representative democratic government, in which sovereignty emanates from the people. Both contain a bill of rights that protects civil liberties from government infringement

The Constitution of 1876 provided for the establishment of the University of Texas and made Texas A&M, which had been founded by the legislature in 1871, a branch of it. The constitution also provided for precinct voting and mandated a poll tax, but not as a prerequisite for voting.
