Which body was considered the most powerful under the Ohio Constitution of 1802?

Supreme Court
Governor
Legislative
Judicial

The correct answer is: Legislative

The Ohio Constitution of 1802 established a system of checks and balances, with three separate branches of government the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. Under this constitution, the legislative branch, or General Assembly, was considered the most powerful body. The executive branch, led by the governor, and the judicial branch, headed by the Supreme Court, have their own distinct powers and responsibilities but the legislative branch has the power to make laws and hold significant control over the budget and appointments to the other branches. Therefore, while the other options may hold significant power and influence, the legislative branch was considered the most powerful under the Ohio Constitution of 1802.
