Comparing and Contrasting the US and Texas Constitution
Throughout the tumultuous history of Texas, we have been governed under seven different constitutions with each document reflecting the current trends, beliefs, and needs of the people of that time. The first constitution that Texans became familiar with was that the Constitution of Coahuila y Tejas in 1827. Most non-Hispanic Texans felt this constitution did not protect their rights and after the Republic of Texas declared independence from Mexico in 1836, a new “Texan” constitution was drafted. Following Texas’ admittance into the Union, yet another constitution was written called the Texas State Constitution in 1845. In 1861, Texas withdrew from the Union, joined with the Confederate States of America, and drafted their fourth constitution. The fifth constitution followed shortly after the end of the Civil War and Texas’ readmission to the Union.
