Texas has been through a lot of changes and constitutions. After constants debates of what the constitution should be, the current Texas constitution was established in 1876 and is the 7th constitution Texas has had. It created 3 branches of government: Legislative, Executive, and Judicial. The current constitution has great qualities, but it also contains a lot of weaknesses that shouldn’t be ignored for the sake of pride. First, the strengths need to be acknowledged; Texas has always been about

The interpretation of the constitution was very different between the first secretary of the treasury and the first secretary of state. The first secretary of treasury was Alexander Hamilton. He supported a loose construction of the constitution. Then the first secretary of state was Thomas Jefferson. He insisted on a strict construction of the constitution. The two men had very different ideas of how the constitution was to be interpreted, but they also had some similarities. They both wanted the

After the American Revolution, the United States ended up having large debts. To address this problem, Alexander Hamilton proposed to the Congress his Assumption Bill that will pay for the nation’s debts. This led to a conflict between the North and the South, the South arguing that it favors only the North and fearing that one would be more powerful based on the Capital’s location, debates on its placement also rose, So Hamilton and James Madison, together with Thomas Jefferson, were able to agree

The continental congress wanted a stronger national government represented by republicans and not direct democracy. The articles of confederacy were failing because it was weak in regulations of taxation, international trade, slave laws, industrial tariffs, and a federal military force.

The Constitution of the United States of America, and its powers within, is supposed to support the overall liberty of our nation. In 1798, James Madison and Thomas Jefferson sought to fight for the states right to nullify laws that they deemed unconstitutional. This fight was spurred by the Alien and Sedation Acts which were “considered unconstitutional because they infringed on the reserved powers of the states” (“Virginia and Kentucky resolutions,” n.d., para. 2). The language in these resolutions

After the failure of the Articles of Confederation, early Americans were hesitant to create a new federal government and feared that it would become too powerful. To avoid this, the Founding Fathers created the Constitution of the United States of America. The new Constitution was based on several basic principles that limited the power of the federal government and kept it from gaining too much power. These systems helped set a base for the federal government while limiting the powers that it withheld

The Anti Federalists supported strong state governments by using the Articles of Confederation. The Constitution has some very strong points and powers that are better for this country, while the Articles have some weakness that may have been worked out. The Articles of Confederation had some problems. A general weakness would be no national court system, admission to the confederation by 9 votes and amendment to the Articles by unanimous vote. Each state had one vote. Some strengths would be that

legislation, this has contributed to the excessive length of the Texas Constitution. To date, there has been more than four-hundred and seventy- four amendments, and instead of organizing or thoughtfully placing these amendments with their correlating articles in the constitution, the amendments are scattered haphazardly throughout the body of the document. This exorbitantly long and restrictive document can be thought of as a model of what a constitution should not be. Moreover, the Texas Constitution

The Articles failed because they gave more power to the states than to the country united. There were about 13 different currencies, so buying items from other states was rough.
