What change to the executive branch did the 1851 constitution introduce?

  1. It reduced the number of offices

  2. It merged several offices

  3. It added offices such as lieutenant governor and attorney general

  4. It restricted the powers of the governor

The correct answer is: It added offices such as lieutenant governor and attorney general

The 1851 constitution introduced several new offices to the executive branch, including the lieutenant governor and attorney general. Option A is incorrect because the constitution did not specifically reduce the number of offices, although it did introduce reforms to streamline the organization and operations of certain offices. Option B is incorrect because instead of merging offices, the constitution created new separate positions. Option D is incorrect because the constitution actually expanded the powers of the governor, including the ability to veto legislation.
