Impact of Urban, Sub-urban, and Rural on Political Partisanship
Partisanship refers to the prejudices directed towards a particular cause, object, or person. In the United States, biasness depends on many factors, not only race and religion but also demography. People in the country's urban, suburban, and rural areas view critical economic, social, and political issues differently. Urban residents and rural residents are becoming distant along economic, demographic, and political lines. Many Americans in the rural areas have varied views concerning social and politics compared to people in the urban sector. For example, the lifestyle in the cities and towns in the US allow same-sex marriages, which is not the case in rural. Lawmakers only consider the contribution of the masses in the town and give little or no consideration to the views of rural residents. Research done by (Parker et al., 2018) indicates that the differences in the issues between urban, suburban, and rural residents are attributed to partisanship composition and not the viewpoints of the American citizen. 
The US is divided into two major political sections comprising Republicans and Democrats. Political leaders operate based on their allegiance to the manifestations of the political parties and not the interests of the citizens. The rural areas comprise Republicans, while a more significant concentration of Democrats is located within the urban centers. In the suburban areas, the political allegiance is evenly distributed. With these gaps in political distribution, those resources will be allocated in favor of the leading party. Texas, for instance, experiences strong partisan ideologies on political representations. For example, although republicans control the government, they cannot get anything done because the majority of members in the house of representatives and the senate comprises democrats (Anzai, 2020). Therefore, the Republican party controlling the federal government seems to fail in conducting its duty. As a result, the political party loses its political power. The same is always witnessed in a contrary scenario. 

2. Conflict in Texas Political Preferences
The constitution of the United States of America, through the 15th Amendment, offers all the citizens of the country the Right to vote without restrictions on gender, race, color, state, or any previous conditions of servitude. Also, Article 69 of the Constitution stipulates that “No person shall be a representative if they are under the age of 25 years.” This person must also have been a citizen of the US for at least seven years and be a resident of the state they intend to represent. Texas is in constant conflict with the constitution of the US, and it is resisting changes in the constitution to manifest itself. The Texas Constitution operates the state government of Texas in conjunction with the fundamental laws of the federal government. According to (Thomas et al. 1956), the Texas constitution operates on six basic principles; (1) popular sovereignty, (2) limited government, (3) separation of powers, (4) checks and balance, (5) federalism, and (6) protection of individual rights. Principle (1) forms the basis of the Texas Government and the US Federal government, and it asserts that all political powers come from the people. 
The purpose of political leaders is to serve the people and residents of Texas irrespective of their race, color, and religion. The Texas government is resistant to changes in the constitution because it allows representation by people of all caliber without discrimination, contrary to how the native Americans view the Latin Americans and African Americans who form the most significant percentage of residents in Texas (Jillson, 2019). This conflict prevents the government from fully carrying out its expected duties to the citizens of Texas. The problems of republican and democratic representation in the national government are also experienced in the State government. The constitution protects all Americans equally allows them to exercise their democratic rights, whether they are part of the government or not, and support it.
