Answer:

Answered below

Explanation:

Governor Dorothy Ann Richards was the forty-fifth governor of Texas. She was a democrat who led from 1991-1995. When Ann Richards came into power, the economy of Texas as well as that of the United States, had had a downturn since the mid 1980s. Governor Ann Richards addressed this problem by instituting a program for economic revitalisation which yielded a growth of two percent in 1991. Governor Ann Richards refined the Texas prison system. She reduced the number of violent offenders that were released and established a program on substance abuse for the inmates. She also expanded the prison space for the growing prison population.

School financing was one of the main issues of Ann Richards government. She attempted to make school fundings more equitable by launching the Robin hood plan. She signed into law the amendment to the Texas financial responsibility law.

In religion, Martin Luther (1483-1546) challenged and ultimately caused the division of one of the major institutions that had united Europe throughout the Middle Ages--the Church. In fact, Renaissance thinkers often thought of themselves as ushering in the modern age, as distinct from the ancient and medieval eras.</span>
