Charlie - I think it's important to remember that the 1890 Constitution was written largely in response to Reconstruction. The authors were very reluctant to amass power in any one person or office. It's very much a testament to the idea that undergirds the states rights approach to government: the government that governs best is the government closest to the people. Hence their apprehension about a strong central leader (governor) and the allocation of immense power to the Legislature, a body which is made up of people from the different communities around the state.
Then there was also the more sinister motive: Put the power in the Legislature and apportion the seats so as to prevent African-Americans from ever gaining a majority there.
