Although the Texas Constitution provides that the governor is the chief executive, it actually establishes a plural executive by dividing executive powers among several independently elected officers.

Explanation:

By dividing power across various elected officials, as per the plural executive government system, the authority of the executive, which would be the governor or president, is limited. Texas utilizes a plural executive which denotes the Governor's powers are limited and dispersed amongst other representatives of government.

In other words, there's not one representative of the Texas government who is entirely responsible for the Texas Executive Branch. And all executives are elected individually, rendering them accountable to the public directly, not to the governor.

trade-off is not the correct answer since it is a situation in which you accept losing something in return for benefits in other areas.

and finally, consequence is a general term used to accept what it comes when you make a decision. it can be a positive or negative consequence depending if the decision you took was the correct one.
