According to the laws governing the western lands, each territory had to provide a state constitution to become states.
How did the territories become states?
The western territories were regions of the United States that had not become states yet and were still under the direct control of the federal government through the President and Congress.
According to the law, if a territory wanted to become a state, it would have to call a referendum to see if the residents wanted to become a state. If the result was positive, Congress would then allow for a state constitution to be drawn up.
