What key addition did the 1851 constitution make to the Ohio judicial system?

  1. Supreme Court

  2. District Courts

  3. Court of Probate

  4. Both District Courts and Courts of Probate

The correct answer is: Both District Courts and Courts of Probate

The key addition made by the 1851 Constitution to the Ohio judicial system was the establishment of both District Courts and Courts of Probate. Prior to this, the Supreme Court was the only court in Ohio, making it difficult for citizens to access justice. With the addition of the District Courts and Courts of Probate, the judicial system became more accessible and efficient. Option B and C are incorrect as they were already established before the 1851 Constitution. Option A is also incorrect as the Supreme Court had already existed in Ohio before 1851. Therefore, the addition of both District Courts and Courts of Probate was the major change brought about by the 1851 Constitution.
