1.How does the Georgia state constitution compare to the US Constitution?
2. How is Georgia’s government organized?
3. How does the state of Georgia treat juvenile offenders?
4. How do local governments play a role in Georgia?

1.The Georgia Constitution gives some limits as to how arms can be borne by the people—the US Constitution does not state this explicitly. The Georgia Constitution also states how many people can sit on a jury (twelve); the US Constitution only gives one the right to a trial by jury.

2.The state government of Georgia is the U.S. state governmental body established by the Georgia State Constitution. It is a republican form of government with three branches : the legislature, executive, and judiciary.

3. Georgia legislators split the difference when they toughened juvenile justice laws in 1994. They stiffened sentences for the most violent crimes, sending some teens to adult prisons. But lawmakers also gave courts discretion to keep some of the serious offenders in the state’s juvenile facilities.

4. Unfortunately, the legislative foundation for local government in Georgia is underdeveloped and

often self-contradictory due to frequent amendment. For instance, the Law on the Structure and

Operation of Executive Power has been amended twice since its adoption in 1990. Furthermore,

several essential areas lack any legislative basis; key fields such as regional organization and the office

of regional state commissioner are determined by presidential decree, not parliamentary legislation.

The 1995 Constitution failed to stipulate a model for administrative-territorial organization. Instead,

its second clause postpones settlement of the issue until restoration of the country’s territorial integrity.

Meanwhile, the system of local government is determined by the Organic Law on Local Government

and Self-governance, adopted in October 1997. Despite many juridical flaws, this law provided the

basis for the development of a relatively efficient system of self-government. The Organic Law on

Local Government superceded several contradictory normative laws passed between 199
