a copy of the mexican constitution of 1824.

Explanation:

The Battle of Gonzales in the Texas Revolution was centered around a small cannon that the Mexican government had previously given to the town of Gonzales for defense against Native Americans, but later tried to retrieve. The other options: the release of Stephen F. Austin is related to his arrest, the town’s central plaza is not the focus of the Battle of Gonzales, and the Mexican Constitution of 1824 is about governance structure, not the battle’s central item.

Answer:

A small cannon requested by the Mexican Government. (The blue - colored option in the lower middle of the image)
