17. ●Texas constitutions were usually modeled after US. ●The Texas Constitution calls for a separation of powers among the three branches of government. ●Rather than create a strong executive branch, the Texas Constitution limits the governor’s power to give jobs to associates. This guarantees that no individual or agency has more power than another. ●The Supreme Court said flag burning is justified as a form of free speech ●The Court ruled that flag burning is protected because “speech” applies to many different forms of expression.
18. The Tidelands were a 10.5-mile-wide strip along the Gulf Coast that contained rich oil deposits. Texas had claimed it since the days of the Republic of Texas. •The federal government claimed the land and denied Texas the right to lease its coastal waters to oil companies for offshore drilling. •This issue and loss of revenue turned Texans against Truman. Texas had always been strongly Democratic, but the Republican candidate for president (Truman's opponent) was able to carry the state in the 1952 election because he supported the state’s point of view in the Tidelands Controversy. •This began the downfall of the Democratic Party in TX.

The United States Constitution and the Texas Constitution differ in several ways. One significant difference is the length of the two documents. The U.S. Constitution is a relatively short document, with only seven articles outlining the powers of the government. In contrast, the current Texas Constitution is one of the longest state constitutions in the United States, with approximately 87,000 words and 491 amendments.
Another difference between the two constitutions is the structure of government they create. The U.S. Constitution divides the government into three branches: the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, each with specific powers and functions. The Texas Constitution also divides the government into three branches, but its powers are more specifically defined and decentralized, with more power given to local governments.
Additionally, the Texas Constitution includes several policy provisions not found in the U.S. Constitution, such as regulations regarding public education, taxation, homesteading, and the use of public lands. Finally, the Texas Constitution is much easier to amend than the U.S. Constitution, with a simple majority vote in both houses of the state legislature required for approval.
Overall, both the U.S. and Texas Constitutions aim to guarantee individual rights, protect citizens from government abuse, and act as the supreme law of the land. However, the Texas Constitution is more detailed and decentralized in its structure, while the U.S. Constitution focuses more on establishing a framework for the federal government.
Additionally, the U.S. Constitution includes a Bill of Rights which explicitly protects the individual liberties of the citizens, while the Texas Constitution has its own Bill of Rights with similar protections. However, the Texas Constitution is more detailed in its provisions on education, taxation, homesteading, and public lands.
Moreover, the U.S. Constitution is more difficult to amend, requiring two-thirds majority support in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures. In contrast, the Texas Constitution is easier to amend through a vote by the state legislature or citizen initiative.
Overall, both constitutions share the same goal of establishing a framework for government with a focus on protecting the rights of its citizens, but the Texas Constitution provides greater detail and decentralizes more power to local governments, while the U.S. Constitution focuses on establishing the federal government's authority while protecting individual liberties.
Despite giving Texans rights identical to those in the U.S. Constitution, the Texas Constitution is significantly more precise about when those rights are violated. Although this precision can seem to make legal issues simple, in reality it can make problems much more difficult. Bringing a Lawsuit in accordance with the Texas Constitution. Facial challenges and "as applied" challenges are the two main legal actions brought under the Texas Constitution.
