Question

Based on the sections in the reading, how does the US Bill of Rights compare with the Georgia Bill of Rights

Answer 1

There are some similarities between the U.S. Constitution and the constitution of the state of Georgia. One difference is that the US Constitution didn’t originally include a Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights was the first ten amendments to the US Constitution. In Georgia’s constitution, the Bill of Rights is found in Article I of the constitution. Another difference is that the Supreme Court judges in Georgia are elected. In the US Constitution, they are appointed by the President and confirmed by the US Senate. Additionally, state judges are elected, unlike federal judges who also are appointed by the President and confirmed by the US Senate. In Georgia’s constitution, members of the legislative branch are elected to two-year terms. In the US Constitution, members of the House of Representatives are elected to two-year terms, while US Senators are elected to six-year terms.

Answer 2

That long response was unneeded , this is the answer.

The Georgia Bill of Rights discusses the same rights as the US Bill of Rights, but often in greater detail.
