Our state’s Bill of Rights extends its protections to all Texans. Rather than just simply saying “all Texans,” however, the Bill of Rights changed in 1972 to name specific groups. Regardless of your membership in any of these groups, as a Texan you are guaranteed your rights. Why would lawmakers be so specific in describing who receives rights in the state? In a short paragraph, explain your ideas and predict what might happen if the Texas Bill of Rights were not this specific.

1920 census

the census was scheduled for january the 1st, as the government believed that more farmers would be in their homes by that time instead of april. the census did not ask about unemployment, the number of children, and how long was a couple married were not taken into consideration. individuals were considered as residents of the places they normally slept, not the places were they worked at or visited.

2010 census

the census was scheduled for april 1st, 2010. it was the shortest census in history: it only contained 10 questions related to name, age, gender, ethnicity, relationship, and whether the citizen owned a home or rented one. the government launched a website in order to provide the citizens with information regarding the census. there were also "teach census weeks" in schools nationwide.
