The first state constitutions in the United States were primarily based on the principles of the Enlightenment, which emphasized individual rights, popular sovereignty, and the separation of powers. They drew inspiration from earlier documents, such as the Articles of Confederation and various colonial charters, as well as philosophical works by thinkers like john Locke and Montesquieu. These early constitutions aimed to establish frameworks for governance that reflected the values of democracy and civil liberties following the American Revolution.
