The first paragraph of Article IV, Section 3 of the Constitution deals with the formation of states. It says that Congress can allow new states to join the United States, but says that new states can't be made in the middle of states that already exist. It also forbids a new state from being made out of two existing states, or parts of states, without Congress's permission.

Are the states forbidden by the constitution to keep a militia?

No, the Constitution does not forbid states from maintaining militias. In fact, the Second Amendment recognizes the right to keep and bear arms in the context of a "well-regulated militia." Additionally, Article I, Section 8, empowers Congress to organize, arm, and discipline the militia while reserving to the states the authority to appoint officers and train the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress. Thus, states can and do maintain their own militias, often referred to as the National Guard.
