During the Age of Jackson, most western state constitutions were characterized by a strong emphasis on democratic principles and popular sovereignty. They often included provisions for universal white male suffrage, reflecting the era's focus on expanding political participation. Additionally, these constitutions typically featured weak executive branches and decentralized power structures, aimed at preventing any single entity from dominating governance. This period also saw the incorporation of rights and liberties, including protections for civil liberties and provisions for public education.
