Early State Constitutions

Early State Constitutions is a singular academic concept referring to the foundational legal frameworks adopted by individual U.S. states during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries that established the structure, powers, and limitations of state government, distinguishing them from both colonial charters and later constitutional revisions through their revolutionary-era principles and experimental democratic governance.
