They included a fair and equal number of white and black delegates and many African American delegates were elected to serve during the conventions.

Explanation:

In some other states, balloting was done which involved asking people to choose if they approve or disapprove how often a convention should hold, in some other states, they will also ballot to decide when they should call a convention. Other times in such states, they might call a convention without any ballot or voting.

The constitutional convention is a gathering of elected delegates who will discuss the constitution whether a revisions or amendments are needed to be made, as such a state constitution is similar, but the constitution involved is the constitution of the state .
