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.
