How did Kentucky become a state in 1860?

AnswerFriday June 1, 1792 Kentucky was named the 15th state of the United States. Correct AnswerKentucky is a state, however the date is accurate. It was adopted to the United States on 6/1/1792 as a state and later changed into being a Commonwealth, like Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Virginia. It is commonly referred to as a state in generic terminology. However consider the fact that it was admitted to the Union in 1792 as a State. It was the 1850 Constitution that made Kentucky a Commonwealth, and it had already been "a state of the Union" for 58 years when it declared itself to be not a state but a Commonwealth.It may simply be a matter of semantics, should a US State like California change it's Constitution and declare itself the Ashram of California or the California Commune it would be and remain a US State. Pennsylvania, Massachussetts and Virginia have a legitimate claim to the the title of Commonwealth. Kentucky is more like Constantiople becoming Istanbul or New Amsterdam becoming New York City.
