What limit did the 1851 constitution set on state debt?

$500,000
$750,000
$1,000,000
$2,000,000

The correct answer is: $750,000

The 1851 constitution set a limit of $750,000 on state debt. This limit was put in place to prevent the state from accumulating too much debt, which could lead to financial instability. Option A is incorrect because $500,000 was the limit set by the previous constitution in 1846. Option C and D are incorrect because they exceed the limit set by the 1851 constitution. It is important for a state to have a limit on its debt to ensure responsible and sustainable spending. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
