To replace the colonial charters, the colonies established new forms of governance during the American Revolution, often drafting their own state constitutions.

Additionally, the Continental Congress played a crucial role in coordinating efforts among the colonies, creating a unified approach to self-governance. This shift marked a transition from colonial rule to self-determined political frameworks.
