What was the amendment process in 1802?

Majority vote in the general assembly
2/3 of members call convention, people approve
Initiative petition only
Governor approval

The correct answer is: 2/3 of members call convention, people approve

During the time period of 1802, the process for amending the constitution involved 2/3 of members calling for a convention, followed by the approval of the people. This means that a significant majority of the members of the general assembly had to be in agreement before any changes could be made. While the other options may have been used in other states or at different points in history, they do not align with the specified time period and process mentioned in the question. A majority vote in the general assembly, initiative petition only, and governor approval were not the methods utilized during the amendment process in 1802. Therefore, options A, C, and D are all incorrect.
