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

The Constitution of USA came first before the state constitution. The US Constitution can limit the powers for the state.

Further explanation:

Any amendment to the US Constitution have to be initiated by Congress, the two third of both the houses must approve the amendments and 3/4th of the states have to ratify it. Article 5 of the Constitution allowed for the 34state legislature to petition the Congress for constitutional convention. Any other type of potential amendments arising from the convention have to face 3/4th of the states. Though this convention has never been used but state legislatures can lay the foundation and also ground rules to use this convention , if were called upon so. Originally it was known as Mount Vernon  Assembly, but now it is called assembling of state legislatures. The group have more than hundred legislators from the 31 states. Mostly the group consist of Republicans and there are only six Democrats. Senator Davis long said that the lack a framework for the convention has fed into the mystique and it is running out of control. It is very important that we should establish it how it is going to be run. There is a need to talk about the substance of the issues and the policies made.
