education would be impartial to all, regardless of gender, citizenship-status, race, or religion. Slavery was officially outlawed, jury trial provisions amended, a state prison established, institutions for the disabled would be supported by the state, lending state money to companies and corporations would be prohibited, and the roster for voter-elected state officials would be expanded. A provision was also attached that, if the draft was accepted, allowed Congress to prescribe a condition of admission, possibly leaving room for the subject of polygamy to be debated later, though the
467:. This was not because the delegates were opposed to the idea of women’s suffrage; on the contrary, both the republican and the democrat political parties in Utah had initially expressed their support for the moment and promised to include the issue in the convention agenda. Rather, as the date of the convention drew near, some delegates began to worry that attempting to pass the new constitution with political rights for women would be more complicated than, with the sentiment being “wait til we are a state, then we will give to women suffrage.” 453: 421: 156:. The Constitution was made up of eight articles and a preamble defining the proposed boundaries. The articles established three branches of government, limited voting rights to white men, and mentioned the separation of church as well as the freedom of religion. Slavery was not mentioned. The provisions on religion were written to persuade congress that the state would not be a Latter-day Saint theocracy. 45: 483:
about his concerns within the convention. Outside of the convention there were a number of businesses and individuals opposed to suffrage that held their own meetings. Such movements led people to consider whether it was worth trying to pass the constitution with women's suffrage, or if it was better to get the constitution passed first and then worry about suffrage.

Beginning in the 1860's, Brigham Young pushed for Latter-day Saints to become more economically self-sufficient, which led to boycotts of non-Mormon businesses, adding to existing tensions. 204:. In 1852, Latter-day Saints openly acknowledged the practice of polygamy within the territory, igniting nationwide hostilities against them. Utah had also voted to become a slave territory in 1852 and remained one until Congress prohibited slavery in all U.S. territories in 1862. The statehood application was rejected, and President 228:, which penalized anyone married to more than one spouse, disincorporated the Church, and limited the amount of property the Church could possess to $ 50,000. These measures were not thoroughly enforced. The Utah legislature sent a slightly-altered version of the Constitution to Congress in 1867, but it was ignored. 474:, which stripped away voting rights not only from men and women practicing polygamy, but from all women residing in the Utah territory. Upon losing voting rights, women suffragist movements waited and prepared for the opportunity regain them. In a letter to women in Utah in July 1894, women's rights advocate 257:
The fifth attempt at statehood saw a slightly revised version of the 1872 constitution. For the first time some of the convention's delegates were women, and the new draft was for the "Constitution of the State of Utah" rather than the State of Deseret. This convention was held just after the passage

Further, Congress' imposed provision would have to be approved in a territorial election, which was unlikely. This draft died in a House committee in congress, the fourth failed attempt at gaining statehood. 118:
No other territory in the United States has had requests for statehood denied or ignored by Congress as many times as Utah.

The 1872 iteration of the constitution was more complex than the previous versions, having based much of it on Nevada's constitution.
