Answer:
The most immediate cause of the Texas Revolution was the refusal of many Texas, both Anglo and Mexican, to accept the governmental changes mandated by "Siete Leyes" which placed almost total power in the hands of the Mexican national government and Santa Anna.
Explanation:
Federalism is the distribution of power between a central authority and constituent units, such as the federal government in Washington DC and the states. Article V of the constitution allows for the creation of constitutional amendments via an act of Congress, or by the application of a majority of the states. In this case, both the states and the central authority are able to make necessary changes without the consent of the other.
Colonial subjects who choose to cooperate are often given a reward or status not otherwise given under the old rule. This was a common tactic of the British--pull underclasses into the military and/or government rule. By doing this, you get support, it is cost effective as the colony will govern itself, and you lessen the power of the old elite.
The old elite are more likely to react with violence or rejection of the colonial system. They are typically more equipped to fight against the colonial power. Additionally, members of the military, if replaced, may also rebel against the colonial power. Another factor contributing to rebellion, may be the removal of important traditions or religious rites.
