Every state has its own constitution. Their language-varied, dense,
often quite lengthy-contrasts with the more familiar, streamlined
language of the United States Constitution. Still, there is quite a bit of
shared language among the fifty state constitutions and the federal one.
The framers of the Bill of Rights, for example, were inspired by language
from the early states' constitutions.' The Bill of Rights, in turn, inspired
the framers in many future states.2
