In 1802, Ohio held a convention to draft a new state constitution, which was subsequently adopted later that year. This constitution formally established Ohio as a free state, reinforcing its commitment to abolition. It also addressed issues of governance and set the framework for the state's legal and political systems. Ohio became the 17th state to join the Union on March 1, 1803.
