The Lecompton Constitution was the second of the four proposed constitution for the state of Kansas. The document was written in response to the anti slavery position of the 1855 Topeka constitution of James H. Lane and other free state advocates. The territorial legislative, consisting mostly of slave owners met at a designated capital of lecompton in September 1857 to produce a rival document. Free state supporters who comprised a large majority of actual settlers boycotted the vote. I hope this helps.
