The U.S. Congress considered Missouri's application for statehood in 1819. This led to significant debate over the issue of slavery, culminating in the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which allowed Missouri to enter the Union as a slave state while Maine was admitted as a free state to maintain the balance between free and slave states.

What did states have to apply for before becoming a state?
Before becoming a state, territories in the United States had to apply for statehood by submitting a formal request to Congress. This process typically involved demonstrating a sufficient population, establishing a constitution, and adhering to certain legal and political requirements. Congress would then consider the application, often requiring a vote to admit the territory as a state. Additionally, the proposed state needed to ensure it would uphold the principles of the U.S. Constitution.

Why did Puerto Rico vote to not be your 51st state?
In the last plebiscite held on November 6, 2012, the election results showed that, of the people that voted on the question, over 60% preferred statehood to the other options. This was the first time statehood came out ahead in five attempts since 1967. The issue was complicated due to what some consider confusing ballot language and the two stage question posed. The first question on the 11/6/12 ballot asked if one wanted to keep the current political status Puerto Rico holds in the US. Most voted no. The second question asked what political status one preferred. Statehood won handily, but the undervote suggests that many of the people who voted yes on the first question did not vote on the second question due to confusion, since the current status was not an option on the second question. The population of Puerto Rico is evenly divided whether to keep the current status (or enhance autonomy without breaking from the US completely), and statehood. Only about 4% of the population is actually for complete independence from the United States. To answer the question "why not be a state?" is pretty complicated. Many of those that want to keep status quo feel there is no advantage to statehood, and there could be an erosion of the Spanish culture, and language that makes Puerto Rico unique. Others feel the loss of certain federal tax breaks are not worth the change in status. Puerto Rico enjoys a certain amount of autonomy that some feel would be lost if it became a state. There are many arguments for statehood, including representation in the US Congress (about 6 Reps + 2 senators) and electoral votes for President of the US. But those against statehood feel this is not enough to offset the negatives.
Why do Russians consider 862 as the year when their country began?
Russians consider 862 as the year their country began due to the establishment of the Kievan Rus', a federation of Slavic tribes, under the leadership of the Varangian prince Rurik. According to historical accounts, Rurik was invited to rule over the Slavs in Novgorod, marking the beginning of a centralized state. This event is often viewed as the foundation of Russian statehood and is significant in the context of national identity. The year symbolizes the start of a unified political entity that eventually evolved into modern Russia.

What does congress do once the requirements of the enabling act are met?
Once the requirements of the enabling act are met, Congress can proceed to consider and potentially approve the proposed state constitution. If the proposed constitution is ratified by the residents of the territory and submitted to Congress, lawmakers will evaluate it for compliance with federal laws and constitutional principles. Following this review, Congress may pass an act of admission, officially granting statehood to the territory. This process culminates in the new state being admitted to the Union with equal standing to existing states.
