U.S. States
The United States of America is a federal state, the subjects of which are fifty states. The US states share sovereignty with the US federal government, delegating to it a number of functions stipulated by the US Constitution (defense, international relations, and others). At the same time, the states remain independent in many important matters, such as the fight against crime, education, health care and transportation.
The US Congress can accept new states into the state, the last state of Hawaii to join the US today (in 1959). Currently, the most likely candidate for the status of the fifty-first US state is Puerto Rico. The US Constitution does not say anything about whether a state has the right to secede from the United States. In 1861, such a decision by the southern states led to a civil war, so the US Supreme Court declared secession attempts illegal.
The official name of forty-six US states contains the word “state” (state, for example State of Colorado – “State of Colorado”), four American states are called “commonwealths” (commonwealth, for example Commonwealth of Kentucky – “Commonwealth of Kentucky”). This situation has developed historically and there are no legal differences between states with different names.
States in the United States, in turn, are divided into districts (counties), city-counties (a city that has the status of a district) and independent cities (cities that do not belong to any district). A special status has the federal district of Columbia, in which the city of Washington, the capital of the United States of America, is located.
Depending on which of the regions of the USA this or that state belongs to, there are states of the Northeast of the USA, states of the Midwest of the USA, states of the South of the USA and states of the USA of the West.
