Answer 1

Answer:

The Correct Answer is D

The Texas Bill of Rights is more specific and discusses more issues.

Explanation:

The United States Constitution forms a unitary executive which strengthens executive power in the president, while the Texas Constitution forms a plural executive which separates executive power across various elected offices, hence, fragmenting the executive branch of the government and restriction of power over the executive

Even though the Texas Bill of Rights provides almost the same protections as the United States Bill of Rights, it extends beyond the federal protections.

Also, the Texas Constitution includes guarantees that are not included in the U.S. Bill of Rights like the prohibition of discrimination based on sex and forbids imprisonment for debt.
