In which Constitution is the General Assembly considered the most powerful branch?

1802
1851
Both
Neither

The correct answer is: 1802

The correct answer is A 1802. In the 1802 Constitution, the General Assembly was given a great deal of power and control over the government, making it the most powerful branch. In contrast, the 1851 Constitution shifted power away from the General Assembly and towards the governor and other executive officers, making it less powerful. Choice B, 1851, is incorrect because the 1802 Constitution was the one in which the General Assembly held the most power. Choice C, both, is incorrect because while the General Assembly may have held some power in both constitutions, it was clearly more powerful in the 1802 Constitution. Choice D, neither, is also incorrect because the question specifically asks about the most powerful branch in a specific constitution, and A is the correct answer for this.
