Examine how prior constitutions influenced the evolution of constitutional government in Texas.

The chapter outlines how the Texas Constitution approved in 1876 “reimposed shorter terms of office, reestablished many statewide and local elected offices, and severely restricted the government’s authority to act.” Fehrenbach used the term “restoration.” Examine how prior constitutions influenced the evolution of constitutional government
in Texas. Then, to what degree is the Texas Constitution more an objection to the government under Reconstruction than an outcome of that evolutionary process? Is it possible for such a document, created in response to very specific political experiences, to meaningfully reflect the needs of the modern state of Texas
