His governorship was noted for the establishment of a more progressive (for the era) Penal Code and the establishment of Chancery Court. Term limits prevented him from serving over three terms consecutively and in 1827 he was succeeded by Sam Houston; after Houston resigned as governor, Carroll successfully sought the office again and served three additional terms. During his final term the state constitution of 1796 was supplanted by a new one which gave more executive power to the governor; although this document was technically superseded by the current one in 1870, that document carries over very many of the provisions of the 1834 constitution, upon which it was largely based. Carroll served as governor of Tennessee longer than anyone else has to this point, even fellow six-term governor Sevier. Sevier's first term was unusually short due to the time of year of the admission of Tennessee into the Union. Carroll's gubernatorial service totalled 12 years and 12 days. It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with Criminal Code. ...
