<u>The correct answer is C. U.S. Supreme Court justices are appointed while Georgia Supreme Court justices are elected.</u>
Let's review the truthfulness of the other three options:
A. <u><em>Only the U.S. Constitution deals with individual rights and freedoms.</em></u> This is false. Georgia Constitution in the First Section of Article One, describes the state's Bill of Rights, 28 paragraphs of individual rights.
B. <u><em>Only the U.S. Constitution specifically creates a legislative branch of the government. </em></u>This is also false. Georgia’s legislative branch, since 1777, when the first state constitution was created, is similar to the U.S. Congress in that it is bicameral, or has two chambers or houses. Georgia’s legislative branch is called the General Assembly.
D. <u><em>An American president can only serve two consecutive four-year terms in office</em></u><em>,</em> <em><u>but a Georgia governor can serve three consecutive four-year terms. </u></em>This is wrong because a Governor of the State is limited to two consecutive four-year terms of office.
<u>Finally, the nine Judges of the Georgia State Court are selected using the nonpartisan election of judges system. On the other hand, the President of the United States nominate, with the advice and confirmation of the Senate, the justices to the Supreme Court.</u>
The Constitution is difficult to amend because it requires a supermajority of either members of Congress or a supermajority of state legislatures to propose a new amendment for ratification.
