Answer to Question 1

Answer: a

Answer to Question 2

Answer: An ideal response will:
1. Evaluate the reasons why the 1974 constitutional convention failed, including a lack of leadership from the governor, the fact that the convention delegates were legislators who were shortly facing reelection, the difficulty of achieving a two-thirds majority, and the dissatisfaction among a sizable minority with a provision that would have weakened labor unions.
2. Assess the prospects for future change. Future change may continue to be of the piecemeal variety.
3. Evaluate whether the Texas Constitution is ripe for a major overhaul or whether piecemeal change is likely to serve Texas well for the foreseeable future. If the Texas Constitution has, indeed, been on lifesupport for its entire existence as the textbook claims, perhaps it is time to pull the plug and start anew. On the other hand, if it has worked well enough for all these years, perhaps it is best to leave well enough alone.
