What government was established first in the New Hampshire colony?

I'm assuming you are referring to the New Hampshire Constitution of 1776 (written four months before the Declaration of Independence). The chief differences between the 1776 Constitution and the US Constitution are a lack of bill of rights, and no executive branch. The two branches were a house of representatives, and a council. The council was originally appointed with the intention of a popular vote if a universal constitution wasn't written, because ultimately this constitution seemed to be written as an emergency constitution until a multi-colony constitution was created.
