The high number of legislators and low salary stiffles the number of “career politicians” seated in the legislature.

New Hampshire’s governorship is the weakest of all the states due to its unique, constitutionally mandated system of checks and balances against the power of the governor. The Executive Council holds the distinction of being the first and the last of its kind in the nation. It is a vestige of the Colonial era and a public reminder of the continuing indication of the basic distrust Granite State citizens have for dictatorial government.
