Step-by-step explanation:
The Lecompton Constitution proposed that the state of Kansas allow slavery but with a provision that protected slave property forever, essentially enshrining the institution of slavery. It did not propose a state free of slavery, a popular referendum on slavery, control by the free-soilers, or prohibiting slave auctions. Therefore, the correct answer is e. none of these choices are correct.
False claims existed suggesting that the Lecompton Constitution indicated the dominance of the Free Soilers in Kansas, which is false. The Free Soil residents criticized the proposed constitution and called it the "great swindle." The significant opposition from Free Soilers and northerners eventually led to the defeat of the Lecompton Constitution, with Kansas voters rejecting it by a significant margin. This highlighted the misalignment between the intentions of the constitution's pro-slavery drafters and the actual will of the majority of Kansans.
