Kentucky Constitutional Convention
The Kentucky Constitutional Convention refers to a gathering held to draft or amend the state constitution of Kentucky. The most notable convention took place in 1890, where delegates discussed various issues, including governance and civil rights. The resulting constitution aimed to address the needs of a growing state and reflect the values of its citizens.
