The Texas Constitution is widely criticized, particularly with regard to the three branches of government. If you could change one thing about each of the three branches, what would it be and why? Write a one to three page essay addressing this issue. You must address all three branches and use at least two sources. The essay must demonstrate awareness of audience and purpose, use appropriate and relevant content to develop ideas, and use proper grammar, spelling and punctuation. The essay should use proper MLA or APA format.
