B. It supported the principal of federalism
C. It reduced their debt in the U. S
D. It promoted the institution of slavery in Mexico

B.  It supported the principal of federalism

Explanation:

During that time, Texas was still under the strong influence of Mexican government.   The Mexican Constitution of 1824  introduced the concept of Federalism into Mexican government.  It allowed several territories of Mexico to choose their own representatives that can took part in the legislation process. This means that it will give more power to the people who live in Mexican territories, including the Anglo-Americans.

Without the Mexican Constitution of 1824, the settlers have to face a potential threat that the government might turn into a dictatorship. This will made them lost the right to the all resources that they have collected.

it is a part of john locke's natural rights popular during the age of enlightenment that people had inalienable rights to life, liberty and property. this was reflected by thomas jefferson in his declaration of independence as rights to life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

another line in the declaration of independence is that people have certain rights just because they are human. humans are capable of obeying the three natural rights john locke mentioned making them governable by these laws and therefore entitled to these rights as well.
