The people were led to writing state constitutions to limit the power of the governs because the governs thought that they could rule the their state they way they wanted. Also the people thought they weren't being treated right.
It did
In writing state constitutions, Americans were well aware of the problems that had led to the Revolution. Colonists had been unhappy with governors appointed by the British Crown. Thus, the new constitutions minimized the powers of state governors.

States created individual constitutions to establish their own governance frameworks and protect the rights and interests of their citizens following independence from British rule. These constitutions allowed states to address local needs and circumstances, reflecting their unique political, social, and economic contexts. Additionally, having individual constitutions helped to limit government power and ensure a system of checks and balances, fostering a sense of democracy and accountability within each state.
