In this experience, students learn about the structure of the Texas state government. First they examine the legislative branch and draw a chart of how a bill becomes a law. Then they explore the executive branch and describe one of the various offices, commissions, or committees under its authority. Next they define important characteristics of the structure of the judicial branch. Finally, they create an infographic about one of the three branches. Objective:Overview
The Texas Constitution separates the powers of the state government into three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. Each of the three branches of government is part of a system of checks and balances. This system allows each branch to confirm or veto acts of another branch to prevent any one branch from exercising too much power. In this experience, you will learn about the structure of each of these branches.
