What was characteristic of the constitution Texans wrote in March of 1836?

On March 1, 1836 in the midst of the Texas Revolution, a group of 59 delegates assembled at Washington-on-the-Brazos to draft founding principles for the new Republic. Written and adopted in haste, the 1836 Texas Constitution was a product of the social and economic conditions of the time as well as the legal heritage of Texas, the southern United States and Mexico. Large sections of the U.S. Constitution along with some aspects of Spanish and Mexican law were incorporated into the document.mportant provisions adapted from Spanish and Mexican law were community property, homestead exemptions and protections, and debtor relief.  Drawn from American governing documents was a short preamble; separation of the powers of government into three branches – legislative, executive, and judicial; checks and balances; legalized slavery; citizenship, with "Africans, the descendents of Africans, and Indians excepted;" male suffrage;  a Declaration  or Bill of Rights;  and a method of amendment. The Republic followed an American style of government. The legislature was composed of two houses –  the Senate and the House of Representatives. The executive branch resembled the American presidency, and the four-tiered judiciary system comprised justice, county, district, and supreme courts, of which the district courts were the most important.

The constitution was ratified by Texas voters in September 1836, a necessary step in the path toward eventual annexation to the United States.
