The Law of April 6, 1830 signaled a major shift in:

Answer 1

Mexican treatment of American immigrants

Explanation:

Law of April 6, 1830- The law refers to Mexican state attempts to withhold its sovereignty over the state of Texas which was under the impression of being annexed by the United States.

The state of Texas was colonized by Mexico after it gained independence from Spanish rule. However, a large influx of immigrants from the US posed a significant threat to the culture and demographics of Texas. If not checked on time, Mexican generals feared the loss of sovereignty over Texas.

Hence, Mexican Congress came out with Law of April 6, 1830, which was designed to increase Mexican hold over Texas and also signalled a tectonic shift in policy of Mexican treatment of American immigrants in Texas.
