What requirement did the 1851 constitution add regarding state spending?

Spending approval by public vote
Annual financial disclosure
Money borrowed must be used for its specified purpose
Creation of a state savings account

The correct answer is: Money borrowed must be used for its specified purpose

The 1851 constitution added a requirement that any money borrowed by the state must be used for its specified purpose. This means that the state could not use borrowed funds for any other reason than what it was originally allocated for. This differs from option A, as spending approval by public vote may still allow for a broader range of spending. Option B is a form of financial accountability but does not necessarily tie spending to a specific purpose. Option D may be seen as a responsible financial measure, but does not directly relate to state spending. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
