What was the result of the Convention of 1832?

• A. Mexican officials accepted reforms.
• B. Mexican officials refused reforms.
• C. Texas declared independence.
• D. Santa Anna resigned.

Answer: (B)

The question tests understanding of how Texans tried to gain more say in their own affairs within Mexico. At the Convention of 1832, delegates from Texas gathered to push for reforms that would restore the federal system and give Texas more local control—things like representation in the Mexican Congress and the ability to govern more independently within the union.

Mexican officials refused these reforms, keeping central authority and denying the changes Texans were seeking. That rejection helped fuel future actions, including another convention and eventually the move toward independence, but at this point the effort to gain reform did not succeed.

So, the result was that Mexican officials refused reforms, rather than accepting them, declaring independence, or seeing Santa Anna resign.
