What is the three-step plan to guide territories to statehood?
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.
