The United States consists of 50 states, with Hawaii and Alaska joining as the 49th and 50th states in 1959. According to the National Archives, the Constitution established the federal system allowing new states to join the union. The Smithsonian National Museum of American History documents the territorial expansion from 13 original colonies to 50 states. Political scientists note that federalism divides power between national and state governments. The 50-state configuration represents over two centuries of American expansion, immigration, and political development.
