Answer:
Explanation:It would depend on what you mean by colonial and post-independence.
Before the War for Independence, there was no single governing document and the English Constitution was not a single, written document, but rather the legal customs collectively referred to as common law and applied generally in the colonies. During the War for Independence, the Articles of Confederation were enacted. This document greatly limited the power of the central government, even more so that the Constitution, which was drafted in 1787 and ratified in 1788.
The major difference, between the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution comes down to the power of the federal government. Under the Articles of Confederation, it did not have many powers at all and lacked any power to impose taxes. In the period after independence and before the ratification of the Constitution, the federal government was unable to raise funds even to provide an army for defense. Most of the ships of the Continental Navy were sold off both to raise funds and in acknowledgement that the vessels could not be maintained due to lack of funds.
