Constitution

No reference are needed. Please answer in one paragraph per question.

1. Explain the structure and jurisdiction of the Texas court system at the state level (Do not worry about judges or how they are selected). How does it work?

2. What is a minority-majority district? Explain why Republicans often like these types of districts more than democrats.

3. How was the Swisher County District Attorney able to get so many convictions with no physical evidence? How does this line up with what we know from Elazar about Texas political culture?
