If I wanna go read these documents, does anyone know what these documents might have been called? Would they be called like articles of secession for each state?

Edit: it looks like it might be ordinances of sucession, or ordinance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinance_of_Secession?wprov=sfla1

I need to look at it more but I'm absurdly sleep deprived and have a limited attention span to begin with. I'd appreciate any thoughts or knowledge on the subject anyone might wish to share :)

Mississippi's is called "A Declaration of the Immediate Causes which Induce and Justify the Secession of the State of Mississippi from the Federal Union."

Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world.
