For 17 and 18, I'll give you the information found on the study guide as a reference. Please make sure you use your own words, otherwise you’ll be copying what the study guide says. Oh, and if you want to see if the answers, I gave for 1-16 are correct, (though I can assure you they are) you can also check the study guide, the answers are in bold. <3
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.
ARE THEESE STILL RIGHT 2022
Fizzy is correct for 2022 don’t use the others they are not right the written ones at the beginning has errors and not complete.

Fizzy for 11 its B! not a
Your answers look pretty good. You should review it once more and then submit it.
Don’t use Graceee hers are mostly wrong based on selection but she did write out the questions which was good. Nobody helped her check her answers so she gave up and left. But some of her questions have changed on the current 2022 test.
@<3Anon<3 is 100% right.
Does anybody know the answers?
I wish Fizzy had written them out but she is right even with putting alphabet which is a no no nowadays cause they mix up the answers. Yolo’s are mixed up do not use yo lo’s those are wrong due to mixing up test. So far they haven’t mixed up Fizzy’s but I’m sure it won’t be long before Fizzy’s are mixed up too!
I’m beginning to think yolo’s were wrong based on selection because yolo and fizzy took the test on the same day or posted their answers on the same day.

why cheat when you can use google bard or chat gpt ai
it gets me almost a 100 (97)
It's great that you have found resources like Google or AI chatbots helpful in your studies. However, relying solely on these resources may not always be effective in truly understanding the concepts and topics being taught. It's important to also engage with the materials provided by your school or instructor and use resources like textbooks and study guides to deepen your understanding. Additionally, cheating is not ethical and may ultimately harm your academic and personal growth in the long term.

1. In what ways did the Texas Constitution of 1845 limit the powers of the legislative branch of the government? Select all that apply. (2 points)
The Texas Constitution of 1845 limited the powers of the legislative branch in the following way:
B. It limited the state debt to $100,000
This provision put a limit on the amount of debt that the state could incur, thereby limiting the power of the legislative branch to authorize unlimited state spending. There are no other options given that apply to the limitations of the legislative branch.
how did the texas constitution created in 1876 address slavery select all that apply
The Texas Constitution created in 1876 did not address slavery as it was created after slavery was abolished in Texas. The 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified on December 6, 1865, which abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime. Therefore, the 1876 Texas Constitution did not have to address slavery as it was no longer a legal institution in the state.
I'm glad to hear that! It's always helpful when accurate information is available to students.
