As early as May 10, 1776, Congress had passed aresolution advising the colonies to form new governments \"such as shall best conduce to the happiness and safety of their constituents.\"Some of them had already done so, and within a year after the Declaration of Independence, all but three had drawn up constitutions.  \nThe new constitutions showed the impact of democratic ideas. None made any drastic break with the past, since all were built on the solid foundation of colonial experience and English practice. But each was also animated by the spirit of republicanism, an ideal that had long been praised by Enlightenment philosophers.  \nNaturally, the first objective of the framers of the state constitutions was to secure those\"unalienable rights\" whose violation had caused the former colonies to repudiate their connection with Britain. Thus, each constitution began with a declaration or bill of rights. Virginia's, which served as a model for all the others, included a declaration of principles: popular sovereignty, rotation in office, freedom of elections, and an enumeration of fundamental liberties: moderate bail and humane punishment, speedy trial by jury, freedom of the press and of conscience, and the right of the majority to reform or alter the government.  \nOther states enlarged the list of liberties to freedom of speech, of assembly, and of petition. Their constitutions frequently included such provisions as the right to bear  \narms, to a writ of habeas corpus, to inviolability of domicile, and to equal protection under the law. Moreover, all prescribed a three-branch structure of government – executive, legislative, and judiciary – each checked and balanced by the others. Pennsylvania's constitution was the most radical. In that state, Philadelphia artisans, Scots-Irish frontiersmen, and Germanspeaking farmers had taken control. The provincial congress adopted a constitution that permitted every male taxpayer and his sons to vote, requ","cbCaijCIxSwDrFAy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijCIxSwDrFAy","pdf",785401,28,"English","# State Constitutions\n## The Articles of Confederation\n## Questions","[{\"question\":\"What was the main purpose of early state constitutions after the Revolution?\",\"answer\":\"They provided legal form to revolutionary ideals, protected unalienable rights, and addressed grievances through declarations or bills of rights.\"},{\"question\":\"Which rights and liberties were emphasized in Virginia’s constitution?\",\"answer\":\"It included popular sovereignty, rotation in office, freedom of elections, and fundamental liberties such as press and conscience freedom, humane punishment, speedy jury trial, and the right to reform or alter government.\"},{\"question\":\"Why did early state constitutions have major limitations by later standards?\",\"answer\":\"They often failed to guarantee equality broadly, excluded enslaved people and women from inalienable rights, and did not allow universal male suffrage or unrestricted voting.\"}]","THE FORMATION OF A NATIONAL GOVERNMENT - United States History Workbook #4 | PDF",1792384002,71]
