Question

He constitutions of the states were ___.

Answer 1

The constitutions of the states were somewhat different. Though they all created constitutions that reflected their local beliefs and needs, they also largely kept colonial traditions. For example, the Pennsylvania Constitution of 1776 removed property requirements for voting and holding office, while South Carolina's increased the amount of land a white man had to own in order to vote. However, the states generally all lowered the power of their governors and increased the power of their assemblies.
