How did state constitutions lay the groundwork for the u. s. constitution?

Along with Articles of Confederation, each of the 13 states needed a constitution; England had no formal written constitutions, had to make from scratch; Written principles, included popular sovereignty, limited govt, rule of law, and majority rule, separation of powers; each state constitution began with statement of individual rights (virginia's was model for Bill of Rights)
