List of states of United States

The United States of America is a federal republic consisting of 50 states, a federal district, five major territories, and various minor islands.

Territories of the United States are scattered throughout the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.

States possess a number of powers and rights under the United States Constitution, such as regulating intrastate commerce, running elections, creating local governments, and ratifying constitutional amendments.

Each state is represented by two senators, while representatives are distributed among the states in proportion to the most recent constitutionally mandated decennial census.

Each state is entitled to select a number of electors to vote in the Electoral College, the body that elects the president of the United States, equal to the total of representatives and senators in Congress from that state.

Since the establishment of the United States in 1776, the number of states has expanded from the original 13 to the current total of 50, and each new state is admitted on an equal footing with the existing states.

In addition to the 50 states and federal district, the United States has sovereignty over 14 territories.
