They had gold
The State of California became a free State when the Compromise of 1850 was passed.
in April 3, 1937
It became a US Territory by Act of Congress in 1897 and a US State by Act of Congress in 1959.
Admission to the union requires an act of Congress. I think Congress sets all the rules as it wishes, but in past, the government of the territory that wants to become a state would draw up a proposed constitution. I think they all had a general election that showed that a majority in the territory wanted statehood and approved the proposed state constitution.
I'll tell you when I find out..
