Which constitution created a state government with most of the power in the hands of the legislature, called the General Assembly?

1802 constitution
1851 constitution
1787 constitution
1891 constitution

The correct answer is: 1802 constitution

The 1802 constitution was enacted in Ohio to replace the original 1787 constitution. It included several key changes, including the creation of a state government with most of the power in the hands of the legislature, called the General Assembly. Option B, the 1851 constitution, also made significant changes to the state government structure but did not include the same concentration of power in the legislature. Option C, the 1787 constitution, was the original constitution of Ohio but was later replaced by the 1802 constitution. Option D, the 1891 constitution, does not exist as Ohio's constitution was not significantly amended in that year. Overall, the 1802 constitution is the only one that aligns with the description of creating a state government with extensive legislative power.
