    Article IV section 3 of the United States Constitution
    Section 3. New states may be admitted by the Congress into this union; but no new states shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other state; nor any state be formed by the junction of two or more states, or parts of states, without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned as well as of the Congress.

    Normally parcels of land are U.S. territories before being admitted as states, though there were exceptions (California, Vermont and Texas)
