How does Texas’s mistrust of government and resistance to change manifest itself in the current constitution? How does this conflict with the political preferences for limited government?

Respuesta :

The Current Constitution

a. Classical attractions: The Mexican law by Edmund J. Davis, the problem of slaveholding, the Ordinance of Secession; the Grange movement.

b.The belief of framers: Power of republic state through modern government; morganatic administrator; Traditional political art; stiff and long custom.

Political Preferences

a.Control political industry to amend the law: a limited dynamic role for political individuals to improve into more election, no contestants to produce elector turnout, the Federalist Papers, number -10, 47, and 51.

b.Traditionalist-individualist cultural leadership: Article 17 of the Texas Constitution shows that the amending method is highly specific and difficult, politically moderate associations such as the Tea Party and anti-tax groups, low elector engagement and attendance.
