How the 1851 constitution changed how judges and executive officials were chosen

The year 1851 saw the adoption of a new constitution in Ohio.The constitution gave voters the right to elect governors, other high ranking state officials and the judges, unlike before where the legistlature had the power to appoint judges and other government officials which gave it an almost complete control of the government. In addition the constitution provided for an addition of a third level of district courts instead of the previous two level district court between the supreme court and common pleas court.
