Most of the rights in the Bill of Rights apply as much to states as to the national government. So, it isn't necessary for every state to include each item in its own constitution. Many state constitutions do include these items, whether or not they duplicate national rights. For example, California's state constitution begins with a statement of rights and gives dozens of rights of citizens in detail. Many of these match the Bill of Rights almost exactly. Some rights are unique to California -- citizens have the right to fish upon public lands and waters, for example.

Like the federal and many state constitutions, the constitution of Massachusetts outlines certain rights. These include the pursuit of happiness, freedom of religion, and the right to own and protect property.

The Anti-Federalists were extremely concerned that a strong central government would result in severely weakened state power. Therefore, in order to make sure that the people retained some rights that were protected from national government intrusion, the Anti-Feds demanded that a Bill of Rights be added to the Constitution. Without the addition of the Bill of Rights, the Anti-Feds would have rejected the Constitution in its entirety and it would have not survived ratification. Therefore, because they rejected the Constitution because it originally lacked a Bill of Rights, a Bill of Rights was added to appease them.
The state can not take away your rights that the fed constitution grants to each citizen it has no rights to take away. They belong to you not the state.
