Answer 1

Some historians describe the 15-day 1913 Louisiana Constitutional Convention as a failure primarily because C. The delegates focused on too many issues which kept them from solving the main proposed issues. The convention was marked by a lack of consensus and an inability to address critical issues effectively due to the breadth of topics discussed, which ultimately diluted their focus and led to insufficient progress on the key concerns initially intended for the convention.
