The Texas Constitution gives the citizens of the state the ability to ratify constitutional amendments. Using the article and the book, answer the following questions:

What effect did this have on its writing (think about the Reconstruction Constitution previously)?
What did it do in terms of limiting power?
How does the absence of a “necessary and proper” clause both limited excess government and hinder effective government?
Think critically about the amendment process of the Texas Constitution:
What are some of the benefits of the current Texas constitution and amendment process?
What about drawbacks?
