Question: 1 / 400

Which Constitution allowed the legislative branch to appoint judges and all other government officials?

1802

The correct answer is A: 1802. This is because the Judiciary Act of 1801 signed by President John Adams created 16 new federal judgeships and other government positions, which were then filled by individual senators through appointment by the legislative branch. This act was later repealed in 1802 by the Judiciary Act of 1802, which restored the previous system of presidential appointment and majority confirmation by the Senate. Option B: 1851 and option C: Both are incorrect because the Constitution in 1851 did not allow for the legislative branch to have the power to appoint judges and other government officials. Option D: Neither is also incorrect as the Constitution was amended in 1802 to remove this power from the legislative branch.
