Here are the teacher pack items for The Constitution of the Republic of Texas:
Overview In this experience, students learn about the Constitution adopted at the Constitutional Convention of 1836. First, they compare the Republic of Texas Constitution with the U.S. Constitution. Then they examine the responsibilities of the different political branches of the government as defined by the Constitution. Finally, they rewrite the preamble in their own words and analyze a right in the Declaration of Rights. Objectives:
In March 1836, 59 delegates representing different districts and municipalities in Texas met at Washington-on-the-Brazos. On March 2, they declared Texas independent from Mexico and created the Republic of Texas.
Declaring independence was only the beginning. The new republic needed an army to continue the war, leaders who could make decisions, and a constitution that explained how the government would be organized and what powers it would have.
In this lesson, you will examine the Constitution of the Republic of Texas and how it organized the government of the new republic.
Objectives:
Another task faced the new Republic: it needed a flag. Look at some of the flags that represented the Texas Republic.
Which flag do you do you think best represents Texas?
