		During his brief term of office the government of Georgia implemented measures to encourage the return of citizens who had fled the state because of the hardships of the war, and it passed legislation designed to obtain food and clothing for those whose farms and businesses were ruined by the war.
		On January 2, 1782, John Martin was elected to succeed Brownson as governor of Georgia.

	New Georgia Encyclopedia: Governor
		Given the experience of strong royal governors during the years leading up to the Revolutionary War (1775-83), Georgia governors in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries were initially weak in the amount of power granted to them.
		In the event of a governor's death, the state constitution charges the lieutenant governor with assuming office as the governor until the next general election.
		If the governor becomes disabled and is unable to fulfill his duties of office, four statewide-elected officials can petition the Supreme Court of Georgia to decide whether he or she is fit for office.
