Yes. In the early stages of American government each state was required to write up their own constitution and Bill of Rights so that the power was given to the states. This changed when the U.S. Federal Government decide to have an umbrella Constitution that applied strict, "Must Follow" rules for the states. They still let the states decide upon certain details, such as alcohol legality, but many decisions were now controlled by the Federal Government instead of the State Government.
