Compare how heads of the national government departments are chosen and how the department heads of Texas government agencies are chosen.
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
1. At the federal level, the heads of cabinet departments are appointed by the president.
2. Texas is one of eleven states that do not use this structure. Instead, Texas holds elections for the top executive officials and they run on independent tickets.
3. The Texas model is referred to as a plural executive, because the top executives are independently elected, meaning they are not tied to the governor's office.
