*Every state's constitution sets up a government that is, in some way or other, patterned after the United States government.
*Every state has a separately elected Governor, as opposed to a Westminster style parliamentary system of government where the chief executive would be elected by the legislature (parliament). 
In every state, the head of state and the head of government are the same person. No state has a monarch, or titles of nobility. 
*Every state has a separate executive, legislative, and judicial branch, like the federal government. 
*Every state constitution has a bill of rights. In most cases, the same rights that are found in the federal bill of rights can also be found in state constitutions' bills of rights. In many cases, state constitutions give more rights than the federal constitution. 
*Every state except Nebraska has a bicameral (two house) legislature, like Congress. 
*Every state has a written constitution (like the federal government does).

I believe that immigrants migrated to the United States because of the abundance of resources and work opportunities. Many also fled from wars and sought safety for their families and themselves. Difficulties that immigrants from the 19th century faced ,and still face now, was the idea of Racism and also how society saw them. Many also had trouble finding places to live or people to communicate with. Many formed small groups and communities to stay together with the people of their own race and culture for safety.
