Under which Constitution are all judges and other executive officers in Ohio elected by the voters?

1802
1851
Both
Neither

The correct answer is: 1851

Under the 1851 Ohio Constitution, all judges and executive officers are elected by voters. This included judges on the Ohio Supreme Court, as well as county sheriffs and prosecuting attorneys. Option A, the 1802 Constitution, did not provide for the direct election of judges and executive officers, but rather appointed them. Option C is incorrect because only the 1851 Constitution includes the provision for direct election by voters. Option D is also incorrect because, as previously mentioned, the 1851 Constitution did include the provision for direct election.
