Provisions establishing a legislature, an executive and a judiciary, terms of office, rights of each office, provisions for amending the constitution, permissible powers of government and forbidden powers of government. These you will find in all state constitutions.
Federal and State ConstitutionsEven before the Declaration of Independence was approved by the Continental Congress, instructions had gone out to the former British colonies to form state governments. In order to form such governments, state constitutions were written. A state constitution applies just to that state for which it was written. The United States Constitution applies to all of the states making up the union. A constitution is a plan that provides the rules for a government, be it state or nation. All constitutions serve several purposes. First, it sets the ideals that the beople bound by the constitution believe in and share. Second, it establishes a basic structure of government. Third, it defines the powers and duties of the government. While the state constitutions bind the people in that state, all state constitutions must abide to the United States Constitution. The US Constitution is the supreme law for the states in the Union. MrV also the main different is that the state constitution are much longer. answer to question is D.

The more humane treatment of criminals. New state constitutions, stregthening of the principle of separation of church and state, and abolition of slavery in the colonies were all democratic victories.
Individual colonies didn't have "constitutions." Eventually, the U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1787.
The US Constitution is the founding document of the country. Before that document was approved, however, state governments were made through state constitutions. The state constitutions only applied to the states, however, while the US Constitution applies to the whole nation. For an example, a state constitution will not have articles that deal with foreign treaties or tariffs because the US Constitution gives that power to the federal government. Also, the state may have a constitution that speaks about the death penalty. This will not be found in the US Constitution, as all duties not provided by the federal government belonged to the states. With that said, the US Constitution has an amendment forbidding cruel or unusual punishment. This means that the US states cannot pass death sentence laws that conflict with the US Constitution.
All state constitutions detail the daily interactions between government and citizens. They serve as blue prints for each state to adopt political and legal organizations.

Nearly all of the state constitutions written in the late 1770s placed most of the power in the legislatures. Legislatures were extensions of the English government in the US colonies.
