What reforms did Santa Anna promise Texas in 1834?

• A. Include Texas representation in the legislature
• B. Allow immigration from the United States
• C. Allow English as an official language
• D. Establish Texas as an independent state

Answer: (A)

Texas was pushing for a say in government and local rights. In 1834 Santa Anna visited Texas and promised to restore the Constitution of 1824 and to give Texas representation in the Mexican Congress. That would let Texans have a voice in laws and decisions that affected them, while still remaining part of Mexico. The other options aren’t what he pledged at the time—immigration from the United States, making English an official language, or making Texas an independent state were not the promises tied to this moment.
