Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Reconstruction Constitution of 1869 was known for giving the governor of Texas significant power and causing many to view state government as oppressive and corrupt. This constitution was adopted during the period of Reconstruction after the Civil War and was intended to bring the Southern states back into the Union while ensuring equal rights for African Americans. However, its provisions also led to significant centralization of power in the state government, particularly in the office of the governor.
