Consider the Founders of Your State Drafting the State's Constitution

Consider the founders of your state drafting the state's constitution, which is lengthy and very detailed. Why might they feel the need to be so specific in the state constitution?

A) To protect themselves from the exercise of the supremacy clause by the federal government
B) To protect themselves from the overreaching authority of other states
C) Because state courts interpret their constitutions in a much more broad and liberal manner than the Supreme Court interprets the U.S. Constitution
D) To fill gaps left by the very brief federal Constitution
E) To override provisions in the U.S. Constitution
