Members of the General Assembly are elected to their positions via popular vote.

Answer 1

9. I would pick A (determining whether new laws are constitutional) and explain why I did not pick it: that is a judicial function, not a legislative one. Whether a law is constitutional is decided by the courts (e.g., the Georgia Supreme Court), not by members of the General Assembly.

10. I would pick C (Members of the General Assembly are limited to serving two consecutive terms in office) and explain why I did not pick it: Georgia state legislators are not subject to a two‑term limit. Both House and Senate members are elected every two years, but they may be re‑elected and serve unlimited consecutive terms.
