Under which constitution was the General Assembly the main government branch with all major offices selected by GA?

1851 constitution
1891 constitution
1787 constitution
1802 constitution

The correct answer is: 1802 constitution

The 1851 and 1891 constitutions were state constitutions, not federal. The 1787 constitution established a separation of powers with three branches of government - the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. Therefore, the 1802 constitution is the only choice where the General Assembly (legislative branch) was the main government branch and was responsible for selecting all major offices within the state government.
