Critical Thinking and Communication Core Objective Assignment Many problems arise when confronting the flaws of the Texas Constitution, many of those concerning the distribution of power made primarily with agrarian and rural ideals in mind. The checks and balances are more strict on the branches with the idea of giving more power to the people and preventing a single entity to act arbitrarily, yet this can resort to be problematic. To simply scratch the surface of these dilemmas and pinpoint a specific item in each of the the branches for the readers understanding they include but are not limited to; the executive’s ample distribution of power, the legislative’s short and amateur legislators and the judicial’s autonomy over the …show more content…
which gives the president power over the executive branch, the power is divided equally among its members in other words we have a “plural executive”. The governor does not have complete authority over who is elected or what can be done.

With that being said I think that the power is spread out thin by the separation of the offices and duties making it easy for one person to make decisions without consulting the others simply because that is not their area of expertise. I agree with the idea of not relying solely on one person to make big decisions on a subject that they are not proficient in but disagree with the amount of people in office that make up the executive branch which makes it hard to keep up and inadvertently gives a person too much power to do as he or she pleases.

During these two years many things change, a budget for example may work well in the first year when we have no signs of a depression but may inevitably change for the next year, proving inconvenient and unreasonable because they are basically making financial predictions on no factual evidence. The original authors had the right idea in mind they wanted to make the Legislation more preoccupied with matters of the district but I believe that the district should not only take in mind matters of that concern them, but those that would benefit the country as well with an emphasis on the continuous improvement of our state as opinions and needs fluctuate with our growth and ideas. The less the Legislature meets, the less power and less consideration is given to governing agencies, which in result can backfire by their abuse of power. The amount of work versus the amount of time they meet is simply unrealistic. How can anyone, especially a group of individuals make an informed and well thought out decision while being pressured with the lack of time? The
