In which constitution are judges appointed and approved by the legislature?

  1. Ohio Constitution

  2. U.S. Constitution

  3. Both

  4. Neither

The correct answer is: U.S. Constitution

In the U.S. Constitution, judges are appointed by the President and approved by the Senate. This process is laid out in Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution. In contrast, in the Ohio Constitution, judges are elected by the people. This difference between the two constitutions makes options A and C incorrect. Option D is also incorrect because while judges in the U.S. may also be elected in some cases, the default process outlined in the Constitution is through appointment and approval by the legislature. Therefore, the correct answer is B U.S. Constitution.
