The Constitution of Massachusetts, adopted in 1780, supported a framework for a democratic government based on principles of popular sovereignty, separation of powers, and individual rights. It emphasized civil liberties, including freedom of speech, religion, and the press, while establishing a system of checks and balances among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. Additionally, it provided for a strong emphasis on the rule of law and the protection of property rights. The Massachusetts Constitution has influenced many state constitutions and the U.S. Constitution itself.
