| "The Thirteenth
Legislature (1873) proceeded to dismantle the more
unpopular measures of the preceding legislature and
proposed three amendments to the 1869 charter, all of
which were adopted, including one that in effect
prohibited the legislature from delegating its power to
suspend legislation, a provision retained to the
present.". Handbook of Texas Online, s.v. "," http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/articles/TT/mkt2.html (accessed July 24, 2006). |
