Question 5 • OK-Oklahoma History

All of the following were effects of the Sequoyah convention except __________.

Answer
A
The vice-chairman of the convention, Charles N. Haskell, became the first governor of Oklahoma
B
The constitution drafted during the Sequoyah convention inspired the Oklahoma Constitution.
C
The convention helps supporters of American Indians gain political standing in the future.
D
The Sequoyah statehood bill was passed in the House of Representatives and Senate.

Explanation

The Sequoyah convention drafted a proposed constitution for a separate Native American state, but the Sequoyah statehood bill was never passed by Congress. Instead, Oklahoma achieved statehood through the Oklahoma Enabling Act, and the convention’s draft constitution influenced Oklahoma’s constitution. Charles N. Haskell later became Oklahoma’s first governor, so the statement that the Sequoyah bill passed both houses is the exception.
