Question

Hi,

I just submitted in a seperate page my homework for review because I have been having a really hard time answering a question to section #4 and section #5.

 

#4 I cannot find race statistics it is asking me for the texas house of representatives - anywhere in the web. Nowhere, it only shows the race statistics for the entire texas legislature. is it askig me for the legislative race statistic?

Also, it seems that the question #4 and #5 are asking the same question about salary, I just don't know if I am am not understanding the questions or if I am reading it incorrectly. I attached both sections. One photo without the answers and one with the assignment question alone.

It goes as follows:

What is the length and frequency (when do they meet and how often?) of the Texas Legislature? What particular area of the Texas Constitution outlines this?  What is the salary for Texas Legislators (elaborate)?  What are at least 2 benefits/compensation other than salary for Texas Legislators? (Elaborate) 

 

  • The length of when legislature meets is for 140 days and meet biennially, meaning every two years during odd number years, for example today legislation was in session to vote on Texas budget. This is according to the Texas Constitution outlined in article 3 section 5. 
  • As stated above, Texas legislators earn $7,200 per year and additionally $190.00 every day that they attend a session equaling to a total salary of $33,800 for the entire Texas Legislature session of 140 days. 
  •  What are at least 2 benefits/compensation other than salary for Texas Legislators? (Elaborate)

How “representative” are members of the Texas House of Representatives of the people they serve (in terms of race/ethnicity, age, gender, income, wealth, etc.)?  Make a comparison with the current membership of the Texas House and society by detailing the demographics of the membership. 

 

  • The makeup composition of the members of the Texas House of Representatives of the people they serve are as follows: 
  • Race/ethnicity- According to our book majority are “Pale, male (3rd bullet point) and stale (2nd Bullet Point)” - 41 are Hispanic American, 19 are African American, 115 are Caucasian American and 3 are Asian American 
  • Age – For the entire legislature it is considered mostly ‘middle aged.’ However, majority are between ages of 50 and 69, a total of 73 members; there are no members under the age of 30; Ages 30-30-39 make up 16 members, 43 members between the ages of 40-49 and 17 members of age 69 and older. 
  • Gender: For the House of Representatives there are 111 men and 38 women. 75% are men and 25% are woman  
  • Income - House of Representatives earn $7,200 per year and additionally $190.00 every day that they attend a session equaling to a total salary of $33,800 for the entire Texas Legislature session of 140 days.

  • Make a comparison with the current membership of the Texas House and society by detailing the demographics of the membership. 
  • The Demographics of the Texas House does not reflect the Texas population Demographics because the Population makeup of Caucasian American in Texas is 41%, the Hispanic American population in Texas is 40%, yet the Texas House legislature of Hispanics is % and Caucasians are %, and Woman make up majority of the population. The most obvious would be for there to be equal number of men and woman members and equal number of American Hispanics and American Caucasians members.
