Each of the states wrote a Constitution as soon as independence was declared because they needed to replace the British government after the war with their own government.

The Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, during the American Revolutionary War.

So many states decided that popular rule should be the right form of government. That is why the assemblies had a prominent role in the new governments and the governor followed in importance.
