Answer:
Three ways in which the new state governments changed, often altering old power balances are the following:
1. The elastic clause
2. The amending process
3. Judicial review
Explanation:
1. The elastic clause: this allows the state legislatures to use within their jurisdiction the power to modify or stretch the limit of their constitution to deal with situations not specifically spelled out.
2. The amendment process: the state legislatures may within their jurisdiction allow the addition or removal of the state constitution that does not contradict the federal constitution.
3. The judicial review: this allows the State courts within their jurisdictions the power to review state laws based upon their state constitutions.
