What are the components of the legislative power under the Ohio constitutions?

  1. Senate

  2. House of Representatives

  3. Senate and House of Representatives

  4. Senate, House of Representatives, and President

The correct answer is: Senate and House of Representatives

Under the Ohio Constitution, the legislative power is divided between two bodies - the Senate and the House of Representatives. These two chambers make up the Ohio General Assembly, which is responsible for creating laws and governing the state. Option A and B are incorrect because they only name one of the two components of legislative power in Ohio. Option D is incorrect because the President is not included in the Ohio legislative power structure, as that is a federal position. Therefore, the correct answer is option C, as it includes both the Senate and House of Representatives, which together form the legislative power in Ohio.
