States were formed by the United States government annexing them. Nowadays, prospective States ask Congress if they can join the United States. Congress then submits an Enabling Act, and the prospective State submits their proposed Constitution. If it is acceptable, then they are allowed to join as a State. If not, they can change their Constitution in order to join. If the changes they were forced to make were large ones that affected how the State wanted to be run, they can amend it after Statehood.
