What is the three-step plan to guide territories to statehood?
Beatrice13554
Historically, the three steps that a territory needs to take to become a state are as follows:
1. The territory holds a vote to determine whether the people of the territory are for or against statehood. If a majority of the people vote in favor of statehood, then the territory petitions the U.S. Congress.
2. The territory, if it has not already done so, must adopt a form of government and constitution that is in line with the U.S. Constitution.
3. The U.S. Congress--both House and Senate--pass, by simple majority vote--a joint resolution that accepts the territory as a state. The President then signs the resolution, and the territory is officially recognized as a state.

What plan determined which state would join the union as free states or slaves?
There were several attempts to resolve this question, as the Western territories were coming up for statehood. The Missouri Compromise related to the territories acquired from France in the Louisiana Purchase. After the Mexican war, they had to replace this with a new compromise to accommodate the new territories acquired from Mexico. When this proved unpopular, they tried organising a local vote on the issue. That just led to violence. After Lincoln was elected, and the Southern states started to break away, a last-minute compromise was presented to him, but he rejected it because it could have allowed new slave-states. The war was on.
Is Representation in the Constitution based upon statehood and each state's population?
I'm assuming you mean in Congress, the only branch where each state is individually represented. Yes, representation in the House of Representatives is based upon population, but there is a fixed number of representatives at 435, meaning that, with changing population, states could lose or gain seats in the House. However, representation in the Senate is equal for all states with 2 senators each. Territories do not have representation in Congress, though Washington, D.C. has a non-voting delegation to Congress.
