Which Georgia constitution allowed for a bicameral legislature?

The Constitution of 1789 established a bicameral legislature in Georgia. This marked a significant shift from earlier governance structures, as prior constitutions had either a unicameral system or did not explicitly detail the legislative framework. The bicameral legislature, composed of two separate chambers, allows for a more comprehensive representation of diverse interests within the state. This structure facilitates checks and balances within the legislative process, ensuring a more thorough debate on proposed laws and providing different pathways for bills to be considered and potentially enacted.

In contrast, earlier constitutions like that of 1777 did not incorporate this legislative arrangement, which could lead to less balanced representation and legislative efficiency. The subsequent constitutions also reflect variations in governance, but it was specifically the 1789 Constitution that notably established the bicameral system, addressing the growing complexities of state governance during that period.
