Two Constitutions: A Comparison
ADA Text Version
US Constitution featuring the words We the PeopleIn many ways, the U.S. and Texas Constitutions are similar documents. They both embody the principles of representative democratic government, in which sovereignty emanates from the people. Both contain a bill of rights that protects civil liberties from government infringement… both provide for a bicameral legislature with a House of Representatives and a Senate… both seek a system of checks and balances and separation of powers between legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government… and both divide government power between upper and lower levels of government. In the U.S. Constitution the states are subordinate to the federal government, and in the Texas Constitution the counties are subordinate to the state government. But beyond these general features, the two constitutions could not be more different. These differences result from the fact that the two documents arose out of very different historical circumstances and for radically opposite complaints with the document each was meant to replace. With the U.S. Constitution, the problem with the earlier Articles of Confederation was that government was too decentralized and not powerful enough. The U.S. Constitution was designed to overcome these weaknesses and offer a degree of centralization and increased government power. But this is precisely what the Texas Constitution was designed to reverse and avoid. The framers of the U.S. Constitution wanted to enable government action; the framers of the Texas Constitution wanted to paralyze government action.

My historians consider him one of the greatest military generals of all time. Eventually, after his young death, his Empire disintegrated as civil war took over.

Without urbanization the economy would've never been able to build different structures and railways throughout Britain. Although the factories and different industries that came up throughout Britain had terrible conditions. Many people still began to migrate to urban areas in order to make money. This was the key because without all these people working these hard jobs there would've never been any cities in Great Britain like there are today.
