Which of the following best describes Booker T. Washington? A) a civil rights leader who was born into slavery and later worked to achieve racial equality
B) a civil rights leader who was born into slavery and later worked to abolish it
C) a civil rights leader who founded a university and was later elected to political office
D) a civil rights leader who was arrested for violating Jim Crow laws and later challenged them in court

it was certainly a debatable decision, mainly because it was based primarily on political - and not on legal or social - views. since the congress at that time was led by members of the republican party, and the territory that the tribes wanted to turn into an exclusively indian state was predominantly democratic, the proposal (as expressed in the constitution) did not succeed, but the constitution itself proved to be of crucial importance in the creation of the state of oklahoma, and, most importantly, it guaranteed the involvement of representatives of the indian tribes in the government of the future joint state.  

as a member of congress, i would have voted to ratify the constitution, or at least to have it tabled. ignoring it was an interested and partial decision.
