A) It gave the governor the power to appoint members of the Texas Supreme Court.
B) The legislature was permitted to meet annually.
C) It created the perception that it was more concerned with punishing than reconstructing Texas. All three statements are true about the Constitution of 1869. It centralized power in the governor, recognized African American's civil rights, established a more equitable tax system, and set up the Texas State Police. However, the constitution's heavy-handed approach to Republicans and ex-Confederates contributed to its unpopularity, ultimately leading to its replacement in 1876.
