Which state became the 2nd state in the US?

This may be a trick question. The state of Delaware often claims (as on its license plates) to be "the first state", because it was the first state that voted to ratify the U.S. Constitution in 1787, and that may be what you are expected to answer. In fact, it is the common way of listing the "order of the states", including in the recent state coins. But Delaware was not the first state settled or organized as a colony nor (later)as a state (with its own state as opposed to colonial government). And even when it comes to the Constitution, the claim is confused because: a) the 13 colonies were already ALL "states" before the Constitution was drawn up to replace the Articles of Confederation. In one sense, all 13 became states of the U.S. (as opposed to individual, independent states) at the SAME TIME when they together declared independence in July 1776. This was different from the formation of all the later states added and "admitted" to the Union in later years. b) the U.S. Constitution of 1787 itself provided for the document's going into effect only when 2/3 (that is, initially, nine) of the states had ratified it. Thus the "first to ratify" would not come under the Constitution one moment sooner than the next eight. So, the first COLONY founded was Virginia (1607), which was also first organized with a charter (and government)as a colony (1624). If the test is the establishment of a new government, not answerable to the King or Parliament, the first colony/state to adopt such a charter was New Hampshire,which completed its first constitution on January 5, 1776. (Seven other colonies drafted state constitutions later that year.) http://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/nh09.asp

Why was Pennsylvania the 33rd state?

Pennsylvania was not the 33rd state in the most common sense of the phrase, that is, that it was the 33rd to ratify the Constitution. In that sense, Delaware was the first, and Pennsylvania was the 2nd (and by only 5 days!)However Pennsylvania is the 33rd largest state, in regards to actual land area. This is because there are 32 states larger than Pennsylvania (such as Nebraska, California and Oregon). Before Alaska became the 49th and largest ever state to join the Union in 1959, Pennsylvania would have been the 32nd largest.


What land use methods were common in Pennsylvania ut not Delaware?

In Pennsylvania, extensive agriculture and forestry practices were common, particularly in areas with fertile soil and ample woodland. The state's diverse landscape allowed for large-scale dairy, crop production, and timber industries. In contrast, Delaware, being smaller and more urbanized, focused more on commercial and residential development, with less emphasis on extensive agriculture due to its limited land area. Additionally, Pennsylvania also had a significant mining industry, particularly for coal, which was less prevalent in Delaware.
