My name is Kevin ans I am indeed more than happy to help. I'm in 7th grade just took the Constitution Test. (Much easier than I thought) I'm going to guess that the Secretary o State might have something to do with the process of how a piece of land becomes a state in the United States. The Secretary of State deals with foreign affairs so if we want to buy land from a country they might be the ones to handle that. Only a guess.

RossAs far as I know, no one person has that power (if I'm wrong it most likely is the president). I think you need to get 50,000 signatures of people who live in that territory and then submit it to the government and then after that I think you are a state. I'm not sure what goes on after submission of the signatures.
Congress has the power to make more states. Article IV, Section 3 states: "New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union. . . " New states may be made out of new territories or by combining existing states or parts of existing states, provided the legislatures of the states involved consent.
