Which Constitution authorized free public schools?

1865 1868 1798 1945

Correct Answer:

1868

Explanation:

The main idea here is that a state constitution can set up the public education system and fund it. In Georgia, the Constitution adopted in 1868 during Reconstruction explicitly authorized a system of free public schools and provided for its establishment and funding. This marked the first time Georgia guaranteed universal access to education through the state, creating the framework for the common school system. Earlier constitutions did not include this statewide guarantee, and later ones refine or expand education provisions but do not supersede the fact that 1868 was the first to authorize free public schools in Georgia.
