Weaknesses

  • v There are 93,000 words in the Texas Constitution.
  • v The Texas Constitution has been amended 467 times, making it one of the most frequently amended constitutions among the states.
  • v It was written during the era of cowboys and cattle drives, causing it to be very outdated.
  • v Since it is so precise, it has become a long list of specific rules rather than a set of fundamental legal principles for state law.
  • v Also, because of its preciseness, there is no flexibility.
  • v Because of this, the Texas Constitution is unorganized.
  • v Legislature session is only 140 days long every other year.
  • v The election of judges causes Texans to think that the judiciary is overly influenced by money.
  • v All constitutional amendments are voted on during a special session or an odd year when there is less voter turnout.

Strengths

  • v Texas is definitely NOT trying to become a dictator.
  • v It specifies the creation of two high courts.
  • v Even though the legislature sessions are only 140 days long, the governor can call a special 30 day session.
  • v Forbids the government from imposing a state tax without the approval from the majority of the voters.
  • v The constitution places a high value on individual freedom
  • v I personally think it is a strength that they left God in the constitution instead of taking him out like the rest of the nation seems to be doing.
