Under which constitution were the governor and the secretary of state selected by the General Assembly?

  1. 1787 constitution

  2. 1802 constitution

  3. 1851 constitution

  4. 1891 constitution

The correct answer is: 1802 constitution

The 1802 constitution was the first state constitution of Ohio, and it established the governor and secretary of state being selected by the General Assembly. This means that these positions were not elected by popular vote, but rather chosen by members of the legislature. The other options listed refer to different constitutions, none of which included this method of selection for these positions.
