Answer 1

It called for a careful separation of church and state.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Texas Constitution of 1836 is similar to today's U.S Constitution as both separated powers between the executive, legislative and the judiciary. They both seek a system of checks and balances. Also, both constitutions possess a bill of rights that protects civil liberties from government interference. The both also divide government power between upper and lower powers.

In separating such powers, they carefully placed the church and the state in their rightful position to avoid infringement.

Answer 2

It called for a careful separation of church and state.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Constitution of Texas of 1836 was established after Texas declared its independence from Mexico. This established the Republic of Texas. The constitution that was designed for this republic was very short, and it resembled that of the United States. One of the elements that these two share is the establishment of a careful separation between church and state.
