Answer 1

States rights-the rights held by the states, rather than the federal government, under the Constitution, such as power over marriage laws, education matters, etc. The question of just what is included in states’ rights has a long and often controversial history. In the 1820s and 1830s, for example, the debate over nullification of tariff laws was centered on the issue of states’ rights. In this debate, some South Carolina leaders claimed a right to nullify federal tariffs within their borders. ...

Customs duty-customs: money collected under a tariff.

Centralist-Centralization is the process by which the activities of an organization, particularly those regarding decision-making, become concentrated within a particular location and/or group.

The Constitution of 1824, the first of the newly independent Republic of Mexico, was the document under which DeWitt Colonists were invited to emigrate to the Republic, was the one under which they assumed they were protected and the one they swore to defend. It evolved out of the acta constitucional authored by northeastern Mexican statesman, José Miguel Ramos Arispe (photo left). Texas Empresario Stephen F. Austin (photo center) drafted a Mexican constitution, wrote a suggested "Plan of Federal Government" and presented it to Ramos Arispe six months prior to the emergence of Arispe's acta constitucional. Because of his bold report of 1811 on the Four Eastern Interior Provinces of the Kingdom of Mexico to the Spanish Cortes for which he later was incarcerated for over four years, and his acta constitucional, which was the framework for the Constitution of 1824, Ramos Arispe is known as the Father of Mexican Federalism. Lorenzo de Zavala (right) was the great Mexican constitutionalist and democrat, President of the Congress that approved the Constitution, first signer and first Vice-President of the Republic of Texas.
Fredonian Rebellion, 1826–27, in Texas history, a premature attempt to make Texas independent from Mexico. Two Americans, Haden Edwards and his brother, had undertaken to make settlements on a land grant in E Texas around Nacogdoches, where there were already Mexican settlers, American squatters, and Cherokee. Haden Edwards tried to oust those settlers who could not show clear title, and the resultant trouble led the Mexican government to revoke his charter. The impetuous Edwards decided, against the advice of Stephen F. Austin, to take up arms. He expected some American support and attempted an alliance with the Native Americans, agreeing to divide Texas with them; but he could gather only a few men for the army of his hastily constituted state of Fredonia, and the whole scheme fell apart at the approach of a Mexican force. The incident served, however, to draw the attention of the Mexican and U.S. governments to the conflict of cultures in Texas.
LAW OF APRIL 6, 1830. The Law of April 6, 1830, said to be the same type of stimulus to the Texas Revolutionqv that the Stamp Act was to the American Revolution, was initiated by Lucas Alamán y Escalada,qv Mexican minister of foreign relations, and was designed to stop the flood of immigration from the United States to Texas. The law came as a result of the warning and communications of Manuel de Mier y Terán,qv who made fourteen recommendations directed toward stimulating counter-colonization of Texas by Mexicans and Europeans, encouraging military occupation, and stimulating coastal trade. The law, reasonable from the Mexican point of view, authorized a loan to finance the cost of transporting colonists to Texas, opened the coastal trade to foreigners for four years, provided for a federal commissioner of colonization to supervise empresarioqv contracts in conformity with the general colonization law, forbade the further introduction of slaves into Mexico, and apparently was intended to suspend existing empresario contracts. Article 11, the one most objectionable from the Texan viewpoint, not proposed by Mier y Terán but by Alamán, was intended to prohibit or limit immigration from the United States. Mier y Terán became federal commissioner of colonization despite his doubts concerning the wisdom of Article 11 and of the articles concerning slaveryqv and passports. Texas colonists were greatly disturbed by news of the law; Stephen F. Austinqv tried to allay popular excitement but protested the law to Mier y Terán and to President Anastasio Bustamante.qv By his manipulation of the interpretation of articles 10 and 11, Austin secured exemption from the operation of the law for his contract and for that of Green DeWitt,qv but the measure shook his belief in the good will of the Mexican government. Subsequently he was able to secure the repeal of Article 11. Application of the law slowed immigration, voided contracts that had been awarded but not carried toward fulfillment, and suspended two active enterprises: the Nashville or Robertson's colonyqv and the Galveston Bay and Texas Land Company.qv Enforcement of the provisions of the law concerning establishment of customhouses resulted directly in the Anahuac Disturbancesqv of 1832 and indirectly in the battle of Velasco,qv the conventions of 1832 and 1833,qqv and the accumulation of grievances that helped lead to the revolution

That's all the time I have.
