Question

• The power to declare war
• A Legislative Branch
• The power to negotiate with foreign nations
• The power to print money
• An Executive Branch
• A Judicial Branch

Answer 1

The similarities between Georgia's state constitution and the US Constitution include the following four:

1. A Bill of Rights - Both constitutions include a Bill of Rights that outlines the individual rights and freedoms of citizens.

2. A Legislative Branch - Both have a legislative branch responsible for making laws. In Georgia, this is known as the General Assembly.

3. An Executive Branch - Both constitutions establish an executive branch headed by a governor at the state level and a president at the national level.

4. A Judicial Branch - Both constitutions provide for a judicial branch to interpret laws and administer justice.

The other options (the power to declare war, negotiate with foreign nations, and print money) are generally powers reserved for the federal government rather than state governments.
