Before the Civil War each state had it's own Constitution and made it's own laws. Each state was basically an independent country which had agreed to join the United States instead of standing alone. The civil war started because Lincoln took away the state's right to govern themselves.

The US Constitution is the founding document of the country. Before that document was approved, however, state governments were made through state constitutions.

For an example, a state constitution will not have articles that deal with foreign treaties or tariffs because the US Constitution gives that power to the federal government. Also, the state may have a constitution that speaks about the death penalty. This will not be found in the US Constitution, as all duties not provided by the federal government belonged to the states. With that said, the US Constitution has an amendment forbidding cruel or unusual punishment. This means that the US states cannot pass death sentence laws that conflict with the US Constitution.
