during and after the American Revolution what kinds of state governments were created?

Question

and how democratic were they

Answer 1

They were all democratic to a degree. It IS a republic. They tried to govern themselves and discovered that in the bigger picture, there was little to no unity. Each state had its own currency, trade between states became a nightmare. The Articles of Confederation prooved itself to be too flawed. I like to think of it as Swiss Cheese...

Answer 2

Each state had its own government. They frequently squabbled with each other before and during the Revolution, when they were basically bound by only the Articles of Confederation, the Continental Congress, the Continental Army, and the Declaration of Independence. Typically, the squabbling involved interstate tarriffs and fishing rights, but during the war, the stakes were pretty high...and politicians were just as petty.

For instance, the "President of the Supreme Executive Council of Pennsylvania" threatened to withhold soldiers and material from the Continental Congress over a political issue.

After the Revolution, the states continued to coexist as a very loose confederation of colonies until the Federalist Papers and the Constitution codified the Union...and there continue to be problems now and then (like the Civil War, for instance).

I'm not using any sources for this response, so definitely look this stuff up, but I think that most state governments basically mirror the executive-legislative-judiciary model set forth in the Constitution.
