How were judicial officials selected before the change in 1851?

  1. Elected by the governor

  2. Appointed by the general assembly

  3. Elected by the people

  4. Selected by the Supreme Court

The correct answer is: Appointed by the general assembly

Before the change in 1851, judicial officials were not elected or appointed by the governor, people, or the Supreme Court. Rather, they were selected by the general assembly. This was done to ensure a system of checks and balances, as the general assembly was made up of elected officials from the legislative branch. This prevented any one branch of government from having too much power and control over the selection of judicial officials. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
