Chapter 2: The American Federal System and the Texas State Constitution
Introduction
This chapter describes the broad outlines of the American federal system of government, and how that system is
established in the constitutions of both the United States and Texas. It begins by describing federalism and constitutions,
and then see how the United States Constitution assigns powers to the national and state governments. It then proceeds
to describe the development of the Texas Constitution, culminating with the constitution written in 1876 along with an
overview of how it has been amended through the election on November 2019.
What is a Constitution?
A constitution is a body of fundamental principles or established precedents according to which a nation or state is
governed. It does the following :
- establishes the basis of governing authority
- outlines the structure of the government
- defines and enumerates its powers, and the limits on those powers
- clarifies the rights of the people.
All constitutions in the United States are based on the authority of the people – at least those with power - who live
within the borders of that governing system. The nature of the constitution is a reflection of their values and traditions.
The United States Constitution, and in turn the state constitutions, is based on the republican tradition that developed
over time in Britain, and included the common law. Texas, as we will see below, was rooted initially in Spanish law, and
Jacksonian democracy. The structure of the United States Constitution, written in the summer of 1787, was influenced
by the 13 state constitutions written after independence was declared from Britain. It then provided a model for all
subsequent state constitutions including Texas.
The original document was organized as follows:
Preamble – Which states that the constitution has been ordained and established by the people of the United States.
Article One – Vests the legislative powers in a bicameral Congress.
Article Two – Vests the executive power in a single person, the president.
Article Three – Vests the judicial power in a Supreme Court, and inferior courts established by Congress.
Article Four - Establishes the relationships between the states, and authorizes the creation of new states.
Article Five – The amendment process
Article Six – The national supremacy clause
Article Seven – the ratification process
27 Amendments, including a Bill of Rights, have been added since then.
The national document is brief, vague and limited in its scope.
What is a State Constitution?
Each of the 50 states have their own constitutions which allow for the organization of state governments according to
their own wishes, in accordance with what is allowable by the national constitution, specifically that they establish
republican governments. Local governments are organized under charters, which are similar to constitutions, except

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
