How did the 1851 constitution fundamentally change the way Ohio manages its finances and addresses corruption?

  1. By increasing taxes

  2. By adding offices in the executive branch to oversee finances

  3. By setting spending rules and limiting state debt

  4. By mandating public audits of all governmental spending

The correct answer is: By setting spending rules and limiting state debt

The 1851 constitution of Ohio addressed financial management by setting spending rules and limiting state debt, rather than by increasing taxes or adding executive offices. Additionally, the constitution also mandated public audits of all governmental spending to increase transparency and combat corruption. Therefore, option A and B are incorrect because they do not address the root issue of financial mismanagement and corruption, and option D is incorrect because it is only one aspect of how the constitution changed the way Ohio addresses these issues.
