The video tutorial by Professor James Strickler covers the Georgia Constitution, focusing on the legislative powers granted and denied to the Georgia General Assembly. It explains the general grant of power, known as the police power, and provides examples of specific powers like promoting tourism and creating pension systems. The tutorial also discusses powers denied to prevent favoritism and corruption, such as making special laws or giving gratuities. Lastly, it outlines the impeachment process, where the House of Representatives accuses and the Senate holds the trial.
