Those present were drawn from a committee elected at Grasshopper Falls and they elected Charles McIlvaine as the secretary presiding over it. It was drawn up under the governorship of James Denver and "Corporations," "Revenue" and "Boundaries" were among its 15 articles, though the seventh article was the most important. Eventually superseded in favor of the Wyandotte and Leavenworth documents, it was rejected on a third vote. It would prove to be the decisive issue in the split between Breckenridge and Douglas, partly caused by President Buchanan's attempts to have it ratified. FTP, name this 1857 document, a pro-slavery constitution drawn up in the namesake Kansas town.
