Explanation:

Question 5

Under the original Ohio Constitution, the Governor was responsible for ensuring laws were executed, had pardon power, filled vacancies, and could convene/adjourn the General Assembly in certain cases. The Speaker of the House (legislative), State Senators (legislative), and Mayoral Candidates (local) don't fit this role.

The Ohio Loan Law of 1837 required the state to provide financial aid to canal, railroad, and turnpike companies, leading to a large debt. The other laws (Ohio Debt Law of 1830, Ohio Money Law of 1835, Ohio Aid Law of 1839) don't match this description.

The Constitution reduced the General Assembly's (legislature) authority to enact exclusive - privilege laws and required general laws to be uniform. The Executive Branch (enforces laws), Judicial Branch (interprets laws), and Bill of Rights (rights - related) don't have law - enacting authority in this context.

Answer:

c. The Governor
