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

Which issues did all delegates already agree with at the Constitutional convention
Zarrin [17]

The government under the Articles of Confederation gave the states much power, resulting in a weak central government that lacked adequate executive and judicial powers. After the American Revolution, the American delegates would meet again with the fate of the new nation in the balance. The weak government created under the Articles of Confederation had left these new states in a disjointed and very vulnerable position. Delegates had to act quickly to create a new government that would ensure freedom but also be strong enough to function effectively. Delegates drafted the United States Constitution, which outlined a three-pronged government that balanced the needs and guarantees of the American people.

Through the activities of this Constitutional Convention lesson plan, students will be introduced to the creation and ratification of the United States Constitution. Students will discuss and research the background of the Constitution, understand the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, examine the role that commitment had in this new republic, and connect how these freedoms and freedoms still remain in today's society
