The correct answer is D) City government was unable to handle recovery efforts after a hurricane.

The city of Galveston adopted the commission system of government because the city government was unable to handle recovery efforts after a hurricane.

The reason to adopt this system was that the city government was unable to handle recovery efforts effectively after a hurricane. We are talking about the Galveston Hurricane of 1900.

We are referring to a form of local government that is possible in the United States. The Commission System of City Government requires that citizens vote for the members of the Commission. They could be 5 to 8 members that are going to form the equivalent of a legislative body with some activities done by the executive branch.
