2. How does a territory become a state?
In 1835, there was a conflict between Michigan and Ohio over the port of Toledo. (It was almost an entirely bloodless war) In the outcome, Ohio got the Toledo strip and the port of Toledo, mainly because it was a state at the time and Michigan was a territory. However, although it had to give up the Toledo strip, the U.S. allowed it to become a state and granted it its current Upper Peninsula. At the time, Ohio had a better benefit with having Toledo. But, with the discovery of copper and iron in the Upper Peninsula, as well as plentiful timber, Michigan gained huge profit. So now, Michigan got the better deal after all.

Is California a territory or a colany?
California is neither. In the United States a territory is a location under US ownership which has not yet become a state. A colony, as I understand it, would be a location where we exert full control but no ownership. We do not have colonies, technically, though the difference between a territory and a colony might be debated. An example of a territory is Puerto Rico. It is fully owned and controlled by the US. Its citizens are US citizens. But it has not yet become a state and so has no official seats in Congress.

How did the Northern Territory become a territory?
The Northern Territory is one of two mainland Australian territories, and not a state. At Federation, the Northern Territory did not yet exist. From 1825 to 1863, the Northern Territory was part of New South Wales, and from 1863 to 1911 it was part of South Australia. This resulted from the successful 1862 expedition of John McDouall Stuart to find an overland route through the desert from Adelaide to the north. On 1 January 1911, the Northern Territory was separated from South Australia and transferred to Commonwealth control. The Northern Territory does not have the full rights that a state has, but the territory is administered by the Commonwealth delegating powers to the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly. States can govern their area in their own constitutional right. So, it is called a territory because it is an area of Australia controlled by Australia and is not an actual state.
What was Northern Territory's laws before federation?
Prior to federation, the Northern Territory was part of South Australia, so it had the same laws as that state.
