The Texas Youth Government program replicates a real trial court and invents real tragic events that happen. To make this program more similar to real life they have the House, Senate, lobbyists, Judicial, and Media. All of these play a major role in how the world works today. The House is made up of 435 members and it is divided among the 50 states. The house is one out of two chambers. How the House works is by voting representatives in the house fixed by law at no more than 435 proportional representation in 50 states. The Senate is the other chamber. They have the power to vote, write bills, voice concerns about a veto, unanimous consent, amendments, voting, nomination, and resolution. Basically, the power of voting and representation. Lobbyists talk with a group of lawmakers, including members of congress. They mostly talk about how lawmakers write or vote on legislation related to issues. The Judiciary decides on the constitution of the federal law and resolves the dispute about federal law. Usually every branch has an equal amount of power bit, the judicial have the final say on overturning a ruling by other branches. They can rule for or against an action or laws. Media section is one the most important parts of all. They give all the information out and give different points of view, give you a story and show pictures. They make everything more alive and tell the world what is going on. The Texas Youth Government is the best program if you are interested in something like that. You can also be a lawyer, judge, witness, the victim and play as a real courtroom, you make your own bill and see if you can get passed. Run for government and many other things.
