    A governor is the state’s top executive officeholder and serves a four-year term in the state of Texas, but there is no limit on how many terms a governor wants to serve. The duties of the governor vary throughout the legislative, budgetary, appointive, judicial, and military powers. However, the governor is limited in its powers because of the plural executive structure. First and foremost, the governor’s legislative powers consist of calling special sessions, vetoing bills or passing them, and has a line-item veto power over the state budget. According to Gibson et al., “Texas has one of the strongest veto powers of any other governor” (194).

    It is true that the history of law offers us an understanding how the law evolves and change with time and place. Both the source of narcotics legislation and the Kathryn Burn’s article (Notaries, Truth, and the Consequences) somehow help us flesh out our understanding of sources of legal philosophy.

As Canadians, we require recognizing that these traditional roots of law stem from various European system by explorers and settlers.

    The framers of the Texas Executive established a system that was designed to check the powers of the government. As opposed to the US Constitution that vested the power of the executive in the president of the nation (Berry, 1385), the Texas Constitution sought to ensure that the state did not have the excess powers. As such, they came up with a plural system where a variety of individuals make up the executive branch of the state (Texas State Government at a Glance).

  • Texas Constitution Pros And Cons

    762 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Constitution of 1876 was toward the end in the development of a new, restructured and revised constitution in Texas, yet it was not the last attempt to revise the natural law of Texas. Pressure begin to build to change and streamline the Texas Constitution in the late 1960s. By 1969, fifty-six obsolete and out dated provisions were revoked, including a whole article. This called for a more fundamental overhaul and restructuring of the Constitution, which led to an extensive and prolonged process of constitutional revision that began in the 1970s. Efforts during this time were imperative for two reasons: it explained a long-standing concern whether the legislature had the constitutional right to convene as a constitutional convention; and secondly, the Texas Constitutional Revision Commission provided a thorough revision of the state constitution that served as the foundation for a new

  • Franz Kafka's Before The Law

    1760 Words  | 8 Pages

    Written by Heinrich von Kleist in 1810, ‘Michael Kohlhaas’ depicts the story of a man who greatly values the virtue of justice. Throughout the text, one witnesses the transformation of the protagonist from a reasonable man who accepts the lawful procedures to an aggressive character who overly lives by his virtue to an extent where he is willing to take any measures to promote public justice. Franz Kafka’s parable ‘Before the law,’ whilst touching upon similar values of the law outlined in ‘Michael Kohlhaas,’ on the other hand, introduces the account of a more reserved man from a countryside who struggles to gain entry to the law. In fact, when one closely scrutinizes these texts, there are numerous comparisons as well as contrasts that one can elicit. But it is precisely this process of carefully analyzing these stories, drawing out both similar and disparate qualities, which allows this dissertation to encourage the reader to consider the futility of the human beings within a legal framework.
