Which principle included in the Texas constitution restricts the amount of money the state government can spend

Answer 1

Answer: Article VIII, Taxation and Revenue

Explanation: It is in Article VIII of this official document, a section known as “Taxation and Revenue,” that the Texas state constitution explains limits on taxes and spending by the legislature (governing body of lawmakers). Article VIII also sets guidelines to keep the state government from having the ability to impose too many or too high of taxes, such as property taxes and income taxes.
