The territorial legislature of 1859, which was controlled by free-staters, approved a fourth and final constitutional convention, and in early June delegates were elected to gather at Wyandotte on July 5.
The majority, however, would not accept this "radical" idea, and suffrage was granted only to "Every white male person, of twenty-one years and upward." By this clause, fls and Indians also were denied the vote.
Because they objected to several key provisions, all seventeen Democrats refused to sign, and the subsequent campaign for ratification of the Wyandotte Constitution was a bitter partisan contest.
