How can the legislators do their job, if the government is giving them limitations? In article 3 section 24 of the Texas Constitution it states “members of the legislature shall receive from the public Treasury a salary of $600 per month” (Texas Constitution, 1876).

For example, the House Majority Whip assists the Majority Leader to ensure party discipline

differences between Chambers is in the subject matter dealt with. Only the House can initiate bills dealing with revenue and both introduce and decide on impeachments, while the Senate advises on treaties and tries impeached officials (University of Texas). Also, only the Senate can filibuster, or threaten to, because of its unlimited amount of time for debates unless cloture is called.

After comparing the political culture variable to other variables that I believed would also have a meaningful impact, I
