Tejas, in English history books usually referred to as Mexican Texas, was a province of Mexico between 1821 and 1836. Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821 in its war of independence. Initially, Mexican Texas operated very similarly to Spanish Texas. However, the 1824 Constitution of Mexico set up a federal structure, with Tejas joined with the province of Coahuila to form the state of Coahuila y Tejas.
Tejas was grossly underpopulated, with about 3500 settlers living in the whole of Tejas in 1821, mostly congregated at San Antonio and La Bahia,[1] despite efforts by the authorities to increase the settler population along the frontier. The settler population was overwhelmingly outnumbered by the indigenous tribes. To increase settler numbers, Mexico enacted the General Colonization Law in 1824, which enabled all heads of household, regardless of race, religion or immigrant status, to land in Mexico. The first empresarial grant had been made under Spanish control to Stephen F. Austin, whose settlers, known as the Old Three Hundred, settled along the Brazos River in 1822. The grant was later ratified by the Mexican government. Twenty-three other empresarios brought settlers to the state, the majority from the United States of America, while others came from Mexico and Europe.
After concerns over attitudes of US citizens in Tejas, the Law of April 6, 1830 outlawed further immigration of US citizens to Texas. Several new presidios were established in the region to monitor immigration and customs practices. Angry colonists held a convention in 1832 to demand that US citizens be allowed to immigrate. A convention the following year proposed that Texas become a separate Mexican state. Although Mexico implemented several measures to appease the colonists, Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna's measures to transform Mexico from a federalist to a centralist state motivated the Texan colonists to revolt.
Federalists want a representative democracy "The ancient democracies of Greece were characterized by tyranny and run by mobs"
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
During the times of NAFTA, the North America Free Trade Agreement between México, Canada, and the United States, many people opposed the treaty and questioned President Bill Clinton about it.
Nader and Buchanan opposed the ratification of NAFTA. This influenced what Clinton said in his speech of September 14, 1993. On that day, President Clinton signed two supplements that were included in the Free Trade Agreement.
President Clinton’s speech addressed the arguments against NAFTA that Nader and Buchanan made in that hehe said it was not true that the trade meant just moving out jobs from the US to México. And he clearly explained that Mexicans with lower income than Germans or Europeans spent more in US products, more than those Europeans and Canadians.
