Ohio Government/Constitution Practice Exam

How was the issue of the General Assembly being the most powerful branch addressed?

1. By electing these people and applying laws & taxes uniformly

2. By appointing judges to oversee the General Assembly

3. By limiting the General Assembly's power to create laws

4. By dissolving the General Assembly

The correct answer is: By electing these people and applying laws & taxes uniformly

The reason why options B and C are incorrect is because they both involve limiting the power of the General Assembly, while the question asks about addressing the issue of the General Assembly being the most powerful branch. Option B suggests appointing judges to oversee the General Assembly, which would not necessarily address the issue of their power. Option C suggests limiting their power to create laws, but this does not necessarily address the issue of them being more powerful than the other branches. Option D, dissolving the General Assembly, would completely eliminate the branch and does not address the issue in a practical way. Option A, electing people and applying laws and taxes uniformly, addresses the issue by ensuring that the General Assembly is held accountable and their power is balanced with the other branches.
