1835+Constitution

__1835 Constitution__ T he﻿ constitution changed alot of things in NC's government. One thing is that Catholics could run for office! At first only Protestant Christians could hold and run. Still, even after this, Jews and Atheists couldn't. Elections were changed too; but not for the better. Only White men could vote, freed slaves and Native Americans couldn't. The number of representatives now depended on the population. The people in the Senate depended on the wealth. West counties were happy about the former, East counties were happy about the latter. Also, voters could choose who they wanted to be governer, instead of legislature choosing him.
