These same men who fought
Texas battles were scholars, more
college men having signed the
declaration OF independence than
any other similar document, and
they incorporated a number OF new
ideas into the government which
they formed.
For one thing they set aside a

a people had done such a thing.
They knew that government could

since they also were free from

one has passed a homestead law
since then and no man has ever
dared TO attempt to repeal one OF
them.
They declared also for the first
time in history that no one could
be imprisoned for debt. Some other
states had similar laws but prison
could be escaped only by giving I'D
all property.
