Missouri wrote a new Constitution in 1875 primarily to address the political and social changes following the Civil War and the Reconstruction era. The 1865 Constitution had imposed strict requirements that many found restrictive, particularly in terms of voting rights and representation. The 1875 Constitution aimed to restore political stability and promote reconciliation by eliminating some of these restrictions while also addressing issues such as taxation and local governance. This effort was part of a broader movement in the post-war South and Midwest to create more inclusive and pragmatic state governance.
