Under the [[Maryland Constitution of 1776|constitution of 1776]], governors were appointed by the [[General assembly|General Assembly]] legislature to one-year terms. They could be reelected for two additional terms, though they must take four years off after leaving office. An 1838 constitutional amendment allowed for popular election of governors to three-year terms, though they could not succeed themselves. The [[Maryland Constitution of 1851|1851 constitution]] removed the term limit, and lengthened terms to four years, to commence on the second Wednesday of January following the election. Governors were limited to two consecutive terms beginning in 1948.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Governor |url=http://guide.msa.maryland.gov/pages/history.aspx?ID=SH54 |access-date=March 4, 2023 |website=Guide to Government Records |publisher=[[Maryland State Archives]]}}</ref> The office of [[Lieutenant Governor of Maryland|lieutenant governor]] was created in 1864, abolished in 1867, and recreated in 1970.
