The California petition for statehood was submitted on January 13, 1850, during the period following the Gold Rush when the population surged. The petition was part of the broader efforts to establish California as a state, leading to its admission to the Union on September 9, 1850, as the 31st state. This was a significant moment in U.S. history, contributing to the ongoing debates over slavery and state rights.

I guess none have been denied. While some territories have significantly delayed petitioning for statehood, including Alaska (92 years) and Oklahoma (104 years), no valid petition for statehood has ever been denied by the U.S. Congress.

The article establishes a process for admitting new states by requiring a prospective state to submit a petition for admission to Congress. This petition must demonstrate the state's readiness for statehood, including a commitment to the Constitution and a republican form of government. Congress then evaluates the petition, and if approved, passes an admission act, which the President signs to officially grant statehood. This process ensures that new states meet certain criteria before being integrated into the Union.
