Definition(s)
- The original mechanism for becoming a state of the United States of America was ratification of the Articles of Confederation (1781) by the legislatures of the original thirteen states. Maryland was the last of these former British colonies to ratify the Articles, which it did on March 1, 1781. [Source: The U.S. Constitution A to Z; Admission of New States]
