It also set up a strong executive power held by an elected governor and an elected lieutenant governor. These and all other elected officials functions were elected. The government function gave greater emphasis and protection to the institution based on slavery. .

Since the north no longer trust the south with their ruling power, it disenfranchised former Confederate soldiers and all other persons who held public office under the Confederate system.

The radical Republicans elected one of their own and the judges as well were appointed by the governor rather than elected. These government officials had their salaries significantly increased. Citizens of Texas were not content with these occurrences because it increased taxation and rapid accumulation of heavy debt.
