What is meant by commonwealths as opposed to states in the US?

The term 'commonwealth' really does not differ from state in the US, as it functions the same. Some states have referred to themselves as a commonwealth in their state constitutions because in revolutionary times, commonwealth was a term used to describe a state or nation where the people came together by mutual consent.
