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.

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.

Another example of federal government taking states power would be the new ways of controlling the states spending, the government now gave out categorical grants from which it could control how the states spent this money.
