Answer:
Prior to its independence, Texas was governed as a part of Mexico under the Mexican Constitution of 1824. Established as a federal republic, each state could write its own constitution. Combined as a single state, Texas and Coahuila established a constitution in 1827. Under this constitution, legislative power was delegated to a unicameral legislature composed of twelve deputies, including two elected from Texas by popular vote. The legislature met annually from January through April and could be called into special session. Executive power was vested in a governor and vice-governor, elected to four-year terms by popular vote. The governor could recommend legislation, grant pardons, lead the state militia, and see that the laws were obeyed. Judicial authority was vested in state courts that oversaw minor criminal trials and civil cases. The courts could not interpret the law, and misdemeanor cases were tried by a judge without a jury. Texans ignored two provisions, one that required Catholicism as the state religion and the other that did not recognize slavery

Explanation:
When Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492, and discovered the Americas, he brought many changes. Over the next seventy years, the Spanish sent ships up the east coast of North America, but focused on Florida’s west coast and Central and South America. Although the Spanish did meet the Timucuas, much of our information about these Native Americans comes from the French. The French explorers lived in the Jacksonville area, near Chief Saturiwa and his people, for a little over a year.
The Timucuas ruled by Chief Saturiwa lived east of the St. Johns River in Florida and south Georgia. In 1562, French explorer Jean Ribault, met and exchanged presents with several Timucua chiefs, but did not stay. Two years later, the French returned to Florida and were well-received by the Timucuas. These Saturiwa Timucuas traded peacefully with the French until the French leader, Laudonniere, made a treaty with their enemies (other Timucuas west of the river). The Saturiwa Timucuas realized that their treaty didn’t mean much to the French. Jacques le Moyne, who drew many of the pictures we have of the Timucuas today, was in Florida at this time (1564). Since the Timucuas no longer trusted the French, they would not give them food. The French tried to steal food and even kidnapped a Timucua chief (Outina) and tried to ransom him for food.
