Analyze how political culture has shaped Texas's politics, government, and public
policy. - ✔✔The political culture of Texas is dominated by the individualistic and
traditionalistic subcultures. The individualistic culture is rooted in the search for
individual opportunity of the state's early settlers and is reflected in its constitutionally
weak government and low spending on public programs. The traditionalistic culture
grew out of the Old South, where policies were designed to preserve the social order of
a landed aristocracy, and the poor and minorities were often disenfranchised (not
allowed to vote). With an increasingly diverse population, some areas in Texas may be
shifting toward an increase in the moralistic subculture, which favors government
intervention to improve society.
