state consitutions made which branch of government the most powerful?

Executive branch is the most powerful per state constitution because members of the judiciary are appointed by the Executive Head who is also the titular head of the party where the Congressmen belong.

Answer 2

The Legislative Branch

Answer 3

50 different answers. Most southern post civil war constitutions were wary of strong centralized power so they diluted the executive and made the legislature fairly powerful. They also limited the power of the legislature, however, by imposing very limited powers of spending. Other states have strong executives such as New York, Massachusetts and Michigan.

Answer 4

I assume you are asking about the original 13 colonies which became the first 13 states. Most of those made the legislature the most powerful due to the belief it was the legislature which was most in touch with the people.

Answer 5

The presidency has been called the most powerful office of executive leadership in the world, yet in many respects it is also one of the most circumscribed. A president wields vast formal powers, and yet because of constitutional checks and balances and legal restrictions, the incumbent usually finds, as Harry Truman once said, that "the powers of the president mostly amount to getting people to do what they ought to do without him asking." Often it is the power to persuade, rather than the power to command, that defines the outer limits of presidential power.
