No, among the states of the United States only Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virgina style themselves Commonwealths. For practical purposes there is no difference between a state and a commonwealth that is also a state.

first of all, let's go all the way back to 1775, Mass. declared independence from Great Britain, they didn't want to use colony anymore, so they picked commonwealth which means people.. Pennsylvania and Virginia did the same.. Some other colonies like Rhode Island and New Hampshire kept the name colony.. But Connecticut Colony kept drinking their Bri'ish tea. And then on July 2nd The Connecticut Rep. voted for independence.. And on July, 4th, 1776, Connecticut and several other colonies declared independence.. Also The United States of America did as well.. And then on 1783 Connecticut and the 13 colonies finally got peaceful independence due to The Treaty of Paris.. Oh, same with The United States of America which had no territories.. And Connecticut "enjoyed" it's 4 years of independence, and then a scene from 1788: Connecticut said to Massachusetts "Hey, I'm joining the The United States of America as the 5th state!" Then Masshole said "Wait, lil bro.. I'm coming with you!" And Connecticut ratified the U.S. Constitution and declared The State of Connecticut!
