Creating a State

 Although we are all most comfortable with no change at all, if we wanted to create a new state the is only two ways to do it. The first way is by being a territory. Territories are allowed admission as a state once their population grants them admission to the constitutional convention. After that, the territory representatives must create a state constitution, which must be approved by congress. In past cases, all states were admitted at that point.The other way to become a state is by either combining with another state or breaking off from a state. This can only be done with the approval of congress and the representatives of that state in the legislative branch.
