Jammu and Kashmir has its own constituion which has a special provision of Govrnor Rule. The Governor of J&K in exercise of powers conferred by Section 92 the constitution of Jammu and Kashmir by issueing a proclaimationcan assume all the functions of the government of the state and all powers vested in or exercisable by authority in the state. The Governor Rule thus imposed can be for the maximum period of six months. Thereafter, if the popular government in not installed within the six months of governor's, the further extention shall be President rule under Indian Constituion.
The Governor governor of J&K can also dissolved the legislative assembly in exercise of the powers conferred upon him by clause (b) of sub-section (2) of Section 53 of the constitution of Jammu and Kashmir.
However, the J&K Governor need not neccessarily to take concrunce of the centre while imposing governor's rule or dissolution of assembly as in the case of rest of the states in India.

why should other states not have their own consitution.

I prefer the American system to the british system.

The states have their own constitution. but I do not see them forming small countries.
