The Lecompton Constitution, proposed in 1857 for Kansas, did not advocate for equal rights for all. It primarily sought to protect and enshrine the institution of slavery, allowing slaveholders significant privileges while denying basic rights to enslaved individuals and free Black people. The constitution was controversial and rejected by many, as it was seen as a means to expand slavery rather than promote equality. Ultimately, it contributed to the growing tensions leading up to the Civil War.
