C) The Texas Bill of rights protects individual freedoms from being infringed upon by the government.

Explanation:

The Texas Bill of Rights has more positive tone, and it leverages the citizens with much the same level of protections like the US bill of Rights. However, you will find that Texas bill of right goes beyond the federal protection. And as an example, the section 3a, has been written to not allow the discrimination which is on the basis of the color, creed, race, gender or nationality. And hence, it protects the individual freedoms from being invaded by the government. However, it can be ammended, and federalism is embodied in the Texas bill of rights.
