The period following the Revolutionary War was one of instability and change. The end of monarchical rule, evolving governmental structures, religious fragmentation, challenges to the family system, economic flux, and massive population shifts all led to heightened uncertainty and insecurity.

Each state retained individual sovereignty and operated under its own constitution. Congress struggled to hold the states together, and interests often clashed.
