    A constitution is a charter or plan of government that represents, in essence, a pact between the government and the governed. Like any pact or contract it identifies mutually agreed powers, duties, obligations and limitations on contracting parties, and establishes procedures for action, including law-making and citizen-voter participation. In performing these functions, constitutions also provide the fundamental law on which legal systems are established. They are usually set forth in written documents, although the English Constitution is not, depending instead on traditional precedents.…

    There was a little bit of a controversy between state powers and federal powers. The state powers were more limited as to oppose the federal, being that an actual Civil War broke out. There needed to be a common ground made on the quality of having independent authority over territory whether it could be found in the power to rule or make laws. U.S Supreme Government, Federal Powers vs. State Powers and how federal government gets states to comply with national interests and policies all tie into ratifying the constitution.…

    Texas Government

    • 800 Words

    Texas wanted a really limited government because of their bad experience with Governor Davis. Legislature meets one every two years in odd year for 140 days. (They barely get to do anything). It’s because they didn’t want the government to do much. (Sometimes the legislature would hurry in passing laws so they would have a lot of mistakes.)(like in 1971 the Texan legislature honored a serial killer named Albert Solaho who was a Boston strangler. SO Texas was laughed at throughout the US). Popularly elected judges (Jacksonian democracy: its where the people elect everyone ) However just letting people choose the judges could be bad. Its because most of the people don’t even know the judges they are voting for. They just vote by party or even if they just like how his name sounds!) Legislature has limited ability to enact laws. (US constitution is 7000 words. Texas constitution is 90000 words! It’s so detailed so every time the legislature wants to pass a law they might find themselves in conflict with the constitution.) (Since 1789 the US has passed 27 amendments. But since 1879, Texas has passed 467 amendments! That’s a lot of amendments!) Public debt limitations (limit how frequently it can borrow money) No income tax (at the state and local level.) Decentralized government ( we even have independent school districts)…

    The government of the state of Texas is a difficult and complicated institution that is composed of many different levels. The question comes in to everyone's mind at one time or another whether or not to trust the government. It could be that people believe that the officials will take advantage of their power, or simply people don't like the idea of being controlled by someone who is not a family member or friend. To avoid this centralized power, the government is divided into stages and this is a reasonable ground for trusting the government. Government runs this state and it does deserve to be trusted.…
