Explanation:

Stephen Fuller Austin was the founding father of the state of Texas. He worked hard to get permission to form a state/ colony and was made an empresario by the Mexican emperor. And since the government cannot personally oversee the colony, he was made the 'ruler' of the land.

And in his role as 'founder' of the land, he made several rules for the 300 families to follow, among which are some of the points given in the question. He dictated that the immigrants be law-abiding people, hard-working, and if not a Roman Catholic, he must convert to being one. But among the options given, what was not part of the rule is that the people must be a citizen of the United States.  

the two major parties acting together and cooperating when making decisions is bipartisan

b) he seized power from the directory and appointed himself emperor
