Which constitution is known for accumulating a lot of debt and the irresponsible use of public's money by the General Assembly?

1851 constitution
1802 constitution
1891 constitution
1787 constitution

The correct answer is: 1802 constitution

While the 1787 constitution established a strong federal government and the 1851 constitution brought about important economic reforms, neither was known for accumulating a lot of debt or misuse of public funds. The 1891 constitution, on the other hand, is known for implementing a sales tax and issuing excessive amounts of state bonds, leading to significant debt. Therefore, option B, the 1802 constitution, is the correct answer. It was known for its expansive government spending and the lack of fiscal responsibility by the General Assembly.
