Which document establishes the framework for Georgia's government and rights?

• A. The United States Constitution
• B. The Georgia Administrative Procedures
• C. The Georgia Code
• D. The Georgia Constitution

Answer: (D)

A state constitution is the foundational document that sets up how a state's government is organized and what rights residents have within that state. In Georgia, the Georgia Constitution does exactly that: it lays out the structure of government (the legislative, executive, and judicial branches), defines their powers and limits, and lists the rights guaranteed to Georgians. The United States Constitution governs the entire country and national rights, not Georgia’s internal framework. The Georgia Administrative Procedures describe how state agencies operate and issue rules, not how the government is organized. The Georgia Code is the collection of Georgia statutes—the laws passed by the General Assembly—rather than the framework that organizes government.
