State and local government The Ohio Constitution

The Original Ohio Constitution (1803) General Assembly was the preeminent branch of the Constitution Key judicial and executive officers were appointed by the GA (not elected by the people) Governor had few specific powers Ohio Supreme Court required to meet once each year in every county Difficult to meet those obligations Additionally, the state faced a heavy debt burden

Ch ch ch ch changes! Constitution of 1851 Major executive officials and ALL judges elected by popular vote GA could not enact retroactive laws and all laws of a general nature must be uniform District courts added Instituted debt limitations, banned poll taxes, and required tax funds only be used for stated purpose Still in effect today, though it has been amended numerous times

Framework Simply put, the OH Constitution fits into our federal structure and must remain consistent to the basic principles of the US Constitution. Outlines the powers and functions of our state government and provides the context for local government. Its Preamble and 18 Articles fill up a 124 page PDF document. http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/constitution.cfm
