Under which Constitution was Ohio's debt to be limited to no more than $750,000?

1802
1851
Both
Neither

The correct answer is: 1851

The correct answer is B. The Ohio Constitution of 1851 included a provision that limited the state's debt to no more than $750,000. This was seen as a necessary precaution to prevent the state from accruing too much debt and potentially putting a strain on its finances. Option A, which refers to the 1802 Constitution, did not have such a provision. Option C, stating that both constitutions included the provision, is incorrect because the provision was only included in the 1851 Constitution. Option D, stating that neither constitution included the provision, is also incorrect for the same reason. Both options C and D can be eliminated because they do not align with the historical facts. Therefore, the correct answer is B as it accurately reflects the debt limitation included in the 1851 Ohio Constitution.
