Assignment
Your answer is to be in the form of one essay (Do not simple type out an answer to the questions). There is no minimum or maximum length required. However, you MUST answer the questions fully using complete ideas. I recommend that your essay be between 500 and 800 words. This is just a recommendation as I want full and complete thoughts and analysis. Your essay should be 10 or 12 font and use a standard style such as Times New Roman. You MUST include a reference page with this essay and your text must have in-text citation in the body of your essay. This is a college level essay and will be graded in that manner. Proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation is a must. You will be deducted points for improper use of grammar, incorrect spellings, and poor punctuation.
Respond to the question with a clear and well developed argument. Be sure to utilize specific information or examples to defend and support your argument and make connections when relevant.
Answer the following questions:
1) Discuss the unique relationship between the Texas Legislative Branch and the Texas Executive Branch. Select a topic/issue and walk it through the process of becoming law in the state of Texas. What is the process? What role does each branch play in the policy making process?
2) Knowing the roles that each branch of government plays in the policy making process, in your opinion, is this an efficient way to make laws? Could it be better? Could it be worse? Is there anything you would change in this process?
