26pp. Bound to style in half calf and marbled boards, leather label. Old library stamp on first leaf, contemporary ink manuscript notation on first page. Heavily trimmed, with some loss to page numbers and annotation. The attempted Missouri Constitution of 1845. The rare Missouri Constitution drafted in the convention of 1845. The first Missouri Constitution was passed in 1820, just prior to statehood in 1821. This is the second proposed constitution, drafted due to the growing population of the state. It was not, however, ratified by the voters, and thus was not adopted. Indeed, the manuscript note in this copy relates that, "This proposed Constitution was submitted to the people of Mo Aug 1846 & rejected by a majority of 8,460-" The constitution was not amended again until 1865, when Missouri passed a constitution with draconian loyalty oaths, designed to exclude all but the most fervent Unionists from public life.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. [Black Codes: Anti-abolitionist laws in Missouri] Bound in contemporary leather. Hardcover. Mylar cover. Some wear, rubbing, with loss to extremities. Hinges cracked. Scattered toning. 398 pages ; 23 cm. Includes anti-abolitionist laws preventing free negroes from emigrating to the state, keeping negroes illiterate, to suppress negro preachers by requiring police officers to be present to prevent "all seditious speeches, and disorderly, and unlawful conduct of every kind," and to restrict meetings and assemblies, and to fine free negroes and imprison them if they enter into Missouri. "In 1847, the General Assembly passed an act stating that 'No person shall keep or teach any school for the instruction of negroes or mulattos, in reading or writing, in this State.' An uneducated black population made white citizens feel more secure against both abolitionists and slave uprisings, although it probably did little to suppress the desire for freedom. Numerous persons and organizations defied the law. In addition, meetings, religious or otherwise, conducted by other African Americans, were prohibited unless some sheriff, constable, marshal, police officer, etc., was present. Violations could receive a $500 fine, six months in jail, or both (Laws 1847, pp. 103-104)." - MISSOURI STATE ARCHIVES, Missouri's Early Slave Laws: A History in Documents.

The proposed Missouri Constitution from the convention of 1845. The first Missouri Constitution was passed in 1820, just prior to statehood in 1821. This is the second proposed constitution, drafted due to the growing population of the state. It was not, however, ratified by the voters, and thus was not adopted. A twenty-three-section "Declaration of Rights" includes exemption from military service on account of religious belief, strong defense of freedom of speech and worship, and a provision that "migration from this State cannot be prohibited. The question of slavery is not addressed. The constitution was not amended again until 1865, when Missouri passed a constitution with draconian loyalty oaths, designed to exclude all but the most fervent Unionists from public life.
