Early Government in Georgia

Question 7 • CCPS Georgia Studies 8 (45.00900) YL IC

In what ways were the Constitution of the United States and the Georgia Constitution of 1789 similar?

Answer
A
Both established a weak central government.
B
Both rejected the concept of checks and balances.
C
Both rejected the need for a strong executive branch.
D
Both established a bicameral legislative branch of government.

Explanation

Both constitutions created a bicameral, or two-chamber, legislative branch. The U.S. Constitution established the House of Representatives and the Senate, while Georgia’s 1789 Constitution established its own House and Senate. The other choices do not describe both governments: each constitution included checks and balances and provided for an executive branch.
