Question

question 2-16
which of the following is a responsibility of the maryland general assembly?
approving the governor’s appointments
supervising the maryland state police
reviewing criminal appeals
vetoing unpopular laws

Explanation:

To determine the responsibility of the Maryland General Assembly, we analyze each option:

• "Approving the Governor’s appointments": In Maryland, the General Assembly (specifically the Senate) has the role of confirming the Governor's appointments.
• "Supervising the Maryland State Police": This is not a role of the General Assembly; law enforcement supervision is not their primary duty.
• "Reviewing criminal appeals": Criminal appeals are typically handled by the judiciary (courts), not the legislative body (General Assembly).
• "Vetoing unpopular laws": Veto power lies with the Governor, not the General Assembly (the General Assembly can override a veto, but not veto laws themselves).

So the correct responsibility is approving the Governor’s appointments.

Answer:

A. approving the Governor’s appointments
