The Convention of 1832 resolved that Texas become what?

• A. a separate Mexican state
• B. A US state
• C. An independent republic
• D. A Mexican province

Answer: (A)

The question is about Texans seeking more self-government within Mexico. At the Convention of 1832, delegates hoped to reorganize Texas as its own state within the Mexican federation, giving Texas its own state government and constitution while still remaining part of Mexico. This shows a preference for federalist, local control rather than central authority, not for joining the United States, declaring independence, or staying as a Mexican province. That’s why creating a separate Mexican state best fits what they were aiming for.
