In 1920, the inaugural season of the National Football League (NFL), 11 veterans of Major League Baseball (MLB) (including George Halas and Jim Thorpe) became the first athletes to accomplish the feat. Since 1970, only seven athletes have done so, including Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders.
The Constitution of the Republic of Texas (1836), the first Anglo-American constitution to govern Texas, was drafted by a convention of fifty-nine delegates who assembled at Washington-on-the-Brazos on March 1, 1836 (see CONVENTION OF 1836).
By 1875, Reconstruction was winding to a halt, and Democrats had regained power in Texas. They seized the opportunity to undo the hated 1869 acts. The 1875 Constitutional Convention wrote a new document. In general, the new constitution reflected the lack of faith in government the delegates had formed over the Reconstruction years.
