Question: 1 / 170

What was the method to amend the Ohio Constitution of 1802?

Constitutional convention

2/3 of members call convention to amend

During the time of the 1802 Ohio Constitution, the method of choice for amending the Constitution was for two-thirds of the state's legislators to call a convention specifically for amendments. The Constitutional convention (A) was a method used prior to the Ohio Constitution of 1802, but it was not the method to amend it. Initiative (C) is a process where citizens can propose an amendment, but this was not yet implemented in 1802. Similarly, the General Assembly (D) held legislative powers, but they alone did not have the power to amend the Constitution. Thus, the correct answer is B.

Initiative

General assembly
