What is the difference between a territory and a state What is the difference between a territory and a state? Why might it be more advantageous to be a state rather than a territory? (You may use chapter 7 in the Northern Lights textbook as a reference). Territory State At least 5,000 people (adults) must live in the land for it to be considered a territory. U.S. Congress must give permission for the territory to exist and for its people to create a legislature. Convention must elect a legislature (a group of people who pass the laws for the territory) and a non-voting representative to the U.S. Congress (U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives – make laws for the entire United States) The territory has no say in laws for the entire nation. The federal government has ultimate control of a territory. Governor, legislature, and courts system. Congress must give permission for a territory to start becoming a state. Has to make its own Constitution Voters must approve the state constitution States can send VOTING representatives to Conress Advantages: Can control its own finances (MN was able to attract Railroad companies to help with its economy after it became a state. It could not do so as a territory). Has more say in the U.S. legislature. It has VOTING representatives.
