Questions: Chapter 01 Introduction to Texas History and Politics Question 5 of 15 Which main political subculture does Texas fall under, in terms of Daniel J. Elazar's political culture classification system for the United States? moralistic traditionalistic individualistic conservative

The answer is traditionalistic.

The moralistic political subculture is characterized by the belief that government should be active in promoting the public good and that citizens have a duty to participate in politics and civic activities. This subculture is more commonly found in the northern parts of the United States, such as New England and the upper Midwest.

The traditionalistic political subculture is prevalent in the southern United States, including Texas. It emphasizes the maintenance of the existing social order and hierarchy, with a focus on preserving traditional values and norms. Political participation is often limited to elites, and there is a general resistance to change.

The individualistic political subculture views government as a mechanism for addressing individual needs and interests. It is more common in the mid-Atlantic and western states. This subculture tends to prioritize personal initiative and limited government intervention in economic matters.

While conservatism is a significant political ideology in Texas, it is not one of the subcultures identified by Daniel J. Elazar. Instead, conservatism can be seen as a political ideology that may influence the traditionalistic subculture prevalent in Texas.
