Detailed explanation-1: -How does the Texas Constitution reflect the principles of separation of powers and checks and balances? The government is divided into three branches, each having a check on the others. The governor has the power to write new laws. The constitution may be amended if the voters approve.
Detailed explanation-2: -To further balance power, the Texas Constitution includes a system of checks and balances. Under this system, each branch has ways to check, or restrain, the other two. These checks help prevent one branch from controlling the government. These checks and balances are patterned on those found in the U.S. Constitution.
