Answer:

The Constitution of 1817 was the states first constitution written when Mississippi entered the Union as a state. Only 15 years later in 1832, however, a new Mississippi constitution was written to replace the original one. After Mississippi's defeat in the Civil War, a third constitution was written and adopted.
