Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Most of the state constitutions adopted during the Revolution contained bills of rights. This was because the colonists had just fought a war to secure their rights and freedoms, so they were adamant about protecting them in their new state governments. While some state constitutions did grant wider suffrage and abolish slavery (such as Vermont's constitution), it was not a widespread trend. Governors were often given limited powers, as the colonists were wary of having one person hold too much authority. Congress did not have the power to reject state constitutions, so option E is not correct.
