STEPS TO BECOME A STATE |
|
THE PROCESS INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING PATHS TO STATEHOOD FOR LONG ISLAND |
|
What step officially creates a new state? |
|
The U.S. Congress—both House and Senate—pass, by a simple majority vote, a joint resolution accepting the territory as a state. The President of the United States signs the joint resolution and the territory is acknowledged as a U.S. state. Dec 1, 2022
|
|
To be considered for statehood, the citizens of a territory must affirm by popular vote that they wish to join the United States.
The Congress can then admit that territory as a state by a majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate |
|
- Territory must request statehood.
- Congress must pass an Enabling Act (allows the Constitution writing process to begin).
- Territory writes a Constitution for acceptance.
- Constitution is presented to Congress for official approval.
- Congress passes the Act of Admission.
|
|
Before a territory becomes a state, Congress usually passes an Enabling Act to allow the territory's population to convene a constitutional convention. The convention's purpose is to draft a constitution for the new state and apply for admission to Congress.
|
|
The process for a territory to become a state typically involves a constitutional convention to draft a state constitution.
The steps for a territory to become a state are:
Enabling Act: Congress passes an act that authorizes the territory to convene a constitutional convention and draft a constitution.
Constitutional convention: The people of the territory convene a constitutional convention to draft a republican form of government.
Petition for statehood: The territory submits a petition to Congress applying for statehood.
Congress review: Congress reviews the application and may set additional conditions.
Congress vote: Congress votes to accept or reject the application. If Congress votes in favor, the territory becomes a state.
The Constitution gives Congress the power to grant statehood, but it doesn't establish the process.
Congress can determine the conditions for statehood on a case-by-case basis. |
|
|
|
Here are some examples of meetings that led to statehood: |
|
The Sequoyah Convention
In August 1905, leaders of the Five Tribes met in Muskogee to write a constitution and memorial for separate statehood for Indian Territory (I.T.)
|
|
The Constitutional Convention
In 1787, delegates from every state but Rhode Island gathered in Philadelphia to create the U.S. Constitution.
|
|
Some stipulations for new states include:
-
Being subject to the Articles of Confederation and acts of Congress
-
Paying federal debts
-
Not taxing federal properties within the state border
-
Not taxing non-residents at a higher rate than residents
-
Having a republican form of government

Early in its history the U.S. Congress set up an orderly way for western lands to become states. Senators and representatives in Congress remembered how unhappy the American colonists were under Great Britain’s rule. They were so unhappy that they fought the American Revolution to become free of Great Britain.
One of the most important acts that Congress passed was the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. It set up a system of government for the territory that became the states of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin. It was a model for other U.S. territories to follow when they wanted to become states.
When the American Revolution ended, the United States owned the land east of the Mississippi River and south of the Great Lakes. Because this area was beyond the borders of the original 13 states, it became the responsibility of the federal government.
Many settlers were moving west. Congress knew that the settlers would need a government in their new home. A plan for setting up a government was made.
Until the population of an area reached 5,000 voters, the region was a district. At this time, only free white males were voters. It was ruled by a governor and three judges. The settlers did not vote for them. The president appointed them.
When the population reached 5,000 the settlers could elect their own legislature. The area was called a territory. The governor, however, was still appointed, not elected by the voters. The territory could also elect a representative to Congress. The representative could speak on issues in Congress but had no vote. When the population reached 60,000 the territory could apply for full statehood.
|
|
|
Iowa’s path to statehood followed the steps laid out in the Northwest Ordinance. In 1834 the land that would become Iowa was attached to the Michigan Territory. In 1836 as Michigan prepared for its own admission as a state, Iowa was transferred to the Wisconsin Territory.
With more and more settlers crossing the Mississippi River, a separate Iowa Territory was formed on July 4, 1838. Its boundaries stretched far north of the current border. It went into Minnesota and the Dakotas. Because the population had already reached 22,859 the settlers had the right to elect their own legislature.
|
|
|
President Martin Van Buren, a Democrat, appointed Robert Lucas as Iowa’s first territorial governor. Burlington became the first capital. In 1840 William Henry Harrison, a member of the Whig Party, became president. He appointed another Whig, John Chambers, Iowa’s second territorial governor. The territorial capital was moved to Iowa City.
Both Lucas and Chambers urged Iowans to push for statehood. But many settlers were in no hurry. As long as Iowa was a territory, the federal government paid the costs of much of the government. If Iowa became a state, the settlers’ taxes would pay for much of the government. Early settlers did not want to see their tax bills increase. Iowans in the Whig party were happy to have a Whig president appoint the governor. They feared that the Democrats would win an election for governor if Iowa became a state.

HOW TENNESSEE BECAME THE 16TH STATE |
|
CONSTITUTIONAL SHORTCUT / PRECEDENT |
|
With peace restored, Governor Blount moved ahead with plans to create a state. First, a census taken in 1795 showed that Tennessee's population had grown to 77,262 which more than met the federal statehood requirement of 60,000 citizens. The next step in the statehood process was a vote by the citizens. Most citizens supported statehood which was easily approved by a vote of 6, 504 to 2, 562. Blount then called for a constitutional convention to meet in Knoxville, where delegates from all the counties drew up a model state constitution and democratic bill of rights.
The Tennessee Constitution borrowed from the United States Constitution and the North Carolina Constitution. The constitution allowed free males 21 or older who owned land to vote without regard for race. Therefore, both white and free black men who met the requirements could vote. The voters chose John Sevier as governor. Tennessee leaders converted the territory into a state before asking Congress for approval. Since the Southwest Territory was the first Federal territory to apply for statehood, Congress was uncertain how to proceed. Members of the Federalist party opposed statehood for Tennessee because they assumed voters in Tennessee would support their opponents, the Democratic-Republicans. Finally, Congress approved the admission of Tennessee as the sixteenth state of the Union on June 1, 1796. Knoxville was the first state capital. |

Admission to Statehood by Clifford K. Berryman, Washington Post, May 24, 1911
On June 20, 1910, Congress passed an act to authorize the people of the New Mexico and Arizona Territories to form constitutions and state governments, and provide for the admission of the states into the Union once those constitutions were approved by Congress. After the Territories held constitutional conventions and had their constitutions ratified by the people, each Territory submitted their new constitution to Congress. Arizona's constitution, however, contained a provision for the recall of judges—a provision which was opposed by many members of Congress as well as by President William H. Taft.

OUR " US " CONSTITUTION |
Gives us the clear steps on how to become a state. |
The first step was for a census to be taken. |
The census |
If Congress or a future President does not force the Census Bureau |
to reinstate a citizenship question on the decennial census, |
then states have the ability and the constitutional authority — authority that they should exercise |
to conduct their own censuses that ask a citizenship question, as Massachusetts does, or any |
The 2020 US Census |
SUFFOLK COUNTY = 1,525,920 |
NASSAU COUNTY = 1,395,774 |
TOTAL POPULATION OF LONG ISLAND = 2,921,694 |
(TOTAL ABOVE EXCLUDES BROOKLYN AND QUEENS) |
which would show that we had enough people |
to form a legislature and write a new state constitution. |
|
WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THIS ALREADY AND WE HAVE MET THE CRITERIA |
WE HAVE QUALIFIED - NOW IT IS TIME TO GET TO WORK |
WE WILL BE FORMING OUR STATE LEGISLATURE & RATIFYING OUR NEW STATE CONSTITUTION |
|
WE ARE SEEKING THOSE LONG ISLANDERS WHO WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN |

LONG ISLAND STATE LEGISLATURE |

The Census of 1925 was the last census taken by NY State.
Amendments to the NY State Constitution approved by the voters in 1931 rescinded all sections of the Constitution
which mandated that the state take a census every ten years for the purpose of apportionment. |

Who originally owned Long Island? |
It was originally part of the territory administered by the Plymouth Company
and in 1635 its title was presumably conveyed to William Alexander, 1st earl of Stirling, by Charles I. |
Despite English claims, the island later became part of the territory claimed by the Dutch West India Company. |
|
Technically, Long Island was within the Dutch claim to New Netherland,
but from the beginning of the seventeenth century England refused to honor that claim, |
and preferred to believe that the island fell under the claim of the Plymouth Company charter. |
|
New Netherlands were surrendered, September 29, 1664. (Gilder Lehrman Collection) The Dutch colonization of New Netherland (which included parts of present-day New York, Delaware, New Jersey, and Connecticut) began in the 1620s. |
|
In 1664, the English sent a fleet to seize New Netherlands, which surrendered without a fight. The English renamed the colony New York, after James, the Duke of York, who had received a charter to the territory from his brother King Charles II. |
|
In March 1664 Long Island was part of the area given to James, duke of York (later James II), by Charles II,
and in August the English conquest of New Amsterdam and the Dutch territory was effected.
Long Island became a part of Yorkshire and was governed by laws that were promulgated at Hempstead in March 1665. |

|
GRIEVANCE is DEFINED as a real or imagined wrong or other cause for complaint or protest, especially unfair treatment.
|
|
"Failure to Redress Genuine Grievances" |
|
|
This is an official statement of a complaint over something believed to be wrong or unfair. |
Any failure by the New York State Government to redress genuine grievances will be grounds for secession" |
SECESSION is the action of withdrawing formally from membership of a federation or body, especially a political state.
|
NY STATE HAS BECOME A POLITICAL POLICE STATE |
BY TOUTING IT'S ONE PARTY SYSTEM RUN BY DEMOCRATS IN THE PUBLIC ARENA |
|
|
|
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
|
|
Secession is the formal withdrawal of a group from a political entity. The process begins once a group proclaims an act of secession (such as a declaration of independence).[1] A secession attempt might be violent or peaceful, but the goal is the creation of a new state or entity independent of the group or territory from which it seceded.[2] Threats of secession can be a strategy for achieving more limited goals.[3]
|
|
Most sovereign states do not recognize the right to self-determination through secession in their constitutions. Many expressly forbid it. However, there are several existing models of self-determination through greater autonomy and through secession.
|
|
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
|
|
Democratic Secessionism: the right of secession, as a variant of the right of self-determination, is vested in a "territorial community" which wishes to secede from "their existing political community"; the group wishing to secede then proceeds to delimit "its" territory by the majority.
|
|
Secession from Virginia was the hope of some western Virginians as early as 1829. Many western Virginians felt underrepresented in the legislature, overtaxed, and shortchanged in state spending. In many counties, rugged terrain made plantation agriculture impractical.
|
|
The division of sprawling Kentucky County into three counties in 1780 indicated its rapid growth, and that growth accelerated during the following decade. With population increase came sentiment for separation from Virginia.
|
|
- Kentucky – 1792, was a part of Virginia.
- Maine – 1820, was a part of Massachusetts.
- West Virginia – 1863, was a part of Virginia.
- Vermont - 1791 was part of New York
- Tennessee - 1796 was part of North Carolina
|
- Long Island - 2025 was part of New York
|
|
An upper portion of the Province of New York seceded: the northeastern corner of the province became self-governing in 1777 during the American Revolution, and it was granted statehood in its own right as Vermont in 1791. It was the first state in the union which had not been a separate British colony.
|
|
The online blog Constitution Daily states Kentucky, Vermont, West Virginia, Maine and Tennessee were all were formed from other states. So the argument that states cannot be formed from other states may not hold much water.
|
|
Past Efforts to Split U.S. States. Four U.S. states were admitted to the union after being split from an existing state: Kentucky, Maine, Vermont, and West Virginia. The last such split—West Virginia’s split from Virginia—occurred in 1863 during the Civil War. Various efforts have been made to split up other states, including California. In 1859, the California Legislature—with the approval of voters in Southern California—consented to the separation of areas south of the Tehachapi Mountains (including Los Angeles and San Diego) into a separate territory or state. The Congress, however, never acted on this proposal, and it was never implemented.
|
|
|
"Consent of the governed" is a phrase found in the 1776 United States Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson.
Using thinking similar to that of John Locke, the founders of the United States believed in a state built upon the consent of "free and equal" citizens; a state otherwise conceived would lack legitimacy and rational-legal authority. This was expressed, among other places, in the 2nd paragraph of the Declaration of Independence (emphasis added):[6]
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

OPINION RE: Trump Circus Trial - RIGGED Beyond Comprehension |
|
The BIG APPLE JUDICIAL SYSTEM IS ROTTEN TO THE CORE
NY STATE LAW has revealed itself to be the most corrupt system of Justice in the Nation. The fact that Merchan is rigging a trial against Long Island's Favorite President & allowed to do so by the Policing Body for Rogue, Abusive, & Corrupt Judges, Lawyers & Prosecutors which has allowed this circus to continue goes to so show you that the NY State Bar Association NYSBA.org is also corrupt to the core & can no longer be trusted with upholding our Constitutional Rights as Long Island & American Citizens.
Faith & Trust in the NY STATE Legal System has been flushed down the toilet. Merchan is a Psychopath & should never have been a judge, He has Trump Derangement Syndrome and is a Democrat Operative who was selected unconstitutionally by the Biden/Obama/Clinton Cartel to persecute and prosecute their Political Enemy. Long Islanders No Longer Recognize the NY State System of Justice & the NYSBA as Fair and Impartial. Lady Justice wears a blindfold for a reason. NY State Justice is a creature of the Swamp and is a predatory and political animal that targets their opponents and those who dont follow their corrupt and ideologically flawed interpretation of the US Constitution and our US Bill of Rights.
Just Another Long Island Grievance against the Tyrannical NY STATE Government
Wake Up Long Islanders!
|
JUDGE MERCHAN |
has been orchestrating, manipulating and steering this Jury in favor of a conviction since the very beginning of this rigged trial |
|
IT'S OFFICIAL: |
The Territory of Long Island will Now become the 51st State as New York State has JUST forfeited its Right to Govern Us. NEW YORK STATE has JUST PROVED to Every Long Islander how CORRUPT and TYRANNICAL the Judicial, Executive, and Legislative Branches of NY State are and how they can no longer be trusted to Govern Us. New York State has gone full blown Communist. |
|
|
|
IT''S TIME FOR LONG ISLANDERS TO TAKE CONTROL OF OUR OWN FUTURE BY DECLARING STATEHOOD |
|
LONG ISLAND NEEDS TO BECOME THE 51st or 52nd STATE NOW |

LEE ZELDIN'S GALLANT BUT FAILED BID FOR NYS GOVERNOR |
WAS THE PROOF THAT WAS NEEDED TO ILLUSTRATE TO LONG ISLANDERS |
THAT NYC, BUFFALO, ROCHESTER, WESTCHESTER AND ALBANY DONT CARE ABOUT YOU AND YOUR LIVELIHOOD |
|
LEE ZELDIN WON 49 - 13 COUNTIES IN NY - AND STILL LOST |
|
|
|
Zeldin’s powerhouse was his native Long Island. |
Not only did he flip Suffolk and Nassau counties red, he won them by 17 points and 11 points respectively. |
Zeldin also received about 76,000 more votes in each county than did Marc Molinaro. |
Zeldin also dominated in Staten Island, winning by over 30 points in the borough that Cuomo had won by 1.5 points in 2018. |
Consequently, it was the county with the biggest swing in the state from four years ago |
|
LEE ZELDIN HAS EARNED THE PEOPLE'S NOMINATION TO BE LONG ISLAND STATE'S FIRST GOVERNOR |
|
Nassau and Suffolk are comprised of 13 towns, 2 cities, 97 villages, and 173 hamlets |
There are more than 120 public school districts operating 650 individual schools |
overall, there are more than 900 taxing districts |
|
|
THE CASE FOR LONG ISLAND STATEHOOD |
|
Section 1. Legislative findings: |
|
Nassau and Suffolk Counties comprise an area of 2,826 square miles, larger than the states of Rhode Island and Delaware. |
The combined population of the two counties is 2.798 million which is greater than the population of 19 states. |
Long Island's Nassau and Suffolk counties are home to 125 public school districts, containing a total of 656 public schools. |
For the years 2002-2004 |
Long Island paid 8.124 billion dollars in state taxes yet only 5.2 billion dollars was returned in direct local aid, tuition
assistance, highway aid, pension payments, lottery money, metropolitan transportation authority subsidies and Medicaid payments. |
For many years the question of forming the state of Long Island has been discussed in public and academic forums. |
The issue should be investigated, a report prepared and referendum held in Nassau and Suffolk counties so the citizens may be heard.
|
3+ BILLION $$$ REASONS FOR LONG ISLAND TO BECOME THE 51st STATE |
|
“A unified voice from both Nassau and Suffolk counties would send a serious message to
Albany that we reject their illegitimate taxes and fees upon Long Islanders,” said Sawicki
who has long promoted the idea of secession as a way to solve Long Island’s fiscal woes. |
|
“The Dowling college study has proven that we send over $3 billion more to Albany than we get back. |
That $3 billion can provide enormous tax relief for Long Islanders instead of being used to bail out the rest of the State.” |
|
|
|
Long Island Meets All the Constitutional Requirements and Criteria to become a State |
|
Long Islanders pay the more taxes than any of the largest cities in the Country and if we become a State we would be able to keep our money on Long Island so we can rebuild Long Island in a futuristic manner. It's Time we make this Happen! If we became a State, Long Island would have such a windfall of money, we could completely rebuild Long Island in such a way that we could easily become a model to the rest of the Nation. We would be able to actually see our tax dollars at work. |
|
This Movement was already proposed many years ago and some politicians have pushed the issue as far as they can without sacrificing their Political Careers and like just about everything else that politicians take charge of, the most sensible solutions to our Greatest Problems, winds up in a political roadblock and then gets shelved until it can benefit a politicians election or re-election campaign. It's time for Long Islanders to take control of the Ball and carry it over the Goal line which would result in Long Island becoming the 51st State. What a Great State Long Island would be. |
|
All these years of toying with this idea of Statehood and no website to help educate Long Islanders on how this could happen and the pros and cons of becoming a State. Studies have been done, preliminary legislation has be done, so why dont we hear more about this issue since this will provide a platform that will introduce 100s of thousands of jobs, businesses would flourish again like never before, Infrastructure would be rebuilt 100 of times better than in the past, Our Colleges and Universities would be recognized nationwide attracting and keeping our youth on Long Island, so many benefits to Long Islanders that it will take this entire website to illustrate them all. |
|
This Website www.LongIslandState.org will provide you will all the information and resources available on this Movement up to present day, and then will take you into the future so you can see how this movement can effect your everyday lives and communities on Long Island. |
|
This Website Will Keep You Updated on this Movement toward Statehood! |
|
Let's Build Long Island State Together and help our politicians do the job that we sent them to do, and that is to represent the will of their constituents and make things happen that benefit Long Islanders. Time for them to be accountable and earn their pay and entitlements by carrying out the will of the people that put them in a position of power to make this happen. |
|
Long Island Meets All the Constitutional Requirements and Criteria to become a State |
|
So Why is it that we are not a State Yet? |
It's time for Long Islanders to take control of Long Island because Politicians will not make this happen unless |
"We the People Demand and Declare It" |
If they don't cooperate we fire them in 2024 and 2026. |
Most Politicians are looking at upward mobility and their political careers run into the State and Federal Bureaucracy
whenever a local issue interferes with their aspirations for federal office. |
This is why "We The People" must make this happen |
We Must have this issue of Long Island Statehood placed on the 2024 and 2026 General Election Ballots
so people can vote on this issue ASAP! This is of Utmost importance to fixing Long Island. |
|
Are You Mad Yet? Sorry, But That's Not Enough To Change Anything
The Question is: Are You Mad Enough Yet to Change Something! |
The Most Recent Hurricanes (Noreasters) Irene and Sandy have shown us that we must take charge of Long Island |
Relying on New York State and (FEMA) Federal Government to Help Us Rebuild is a Ridiculous thought. |
We are more than capable of helping ourselves, Long Islanders demonstrate a sense of Selflessness like no other. |
We Dont Want Handouts and Government Money |
|
THE SIMPLE PLAN THAT MAKES LONG ISLAND A STATE |
The So-Called Obstacle: |
|
Under Article Four, Section 3, clause 1 of the federal Constitution |
Both the New York State Legislature and the United States Congress |
would need to Approve any secession from New York |
|
|
THE US CONSTITUTIONAL EXCEPTION: |
WHEN BOTH BODIES ARE GOVERNING WITH HOSTILITY AND ENGAGING IN TYRANNY |
OVER THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THEIR JURISDICTION |
" IMAGINE HAVING TO SEEK THE APPROVAL OF YOUR OPPRESSORS IN ORDER TO GAIN YOUR FREEDOM " |
THIS IS UN-CONSTITUTIONAL ON SO MANY LEVELS |
|
|
New York State Legislature HAS BEEN CONTROLLED BY DEMOCRATS AND THEIR ONE PARTY SYSTEM for OVER 40 Years |
and will NEVER CHANGE due to the Deep Rooted Corruptive Nature (Anti-American)of the One-Party System and Rule. |
LONG ISLANDERS ARE BY A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY NOT DEMOCRATS |
THEY HAVE NOT BEEN AND WILL NEVER BE REPRESENTED BY THE NEW STATE LEGISLATION IN ANY SIGNIFICANT CAPACITY |
ESPECIALLY IN THE POLICY MAKING PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES |
WHICH IS NECESSARY TO PROTECT THE LIVES, CULTURE, CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, AND TO BETTER THE LIVES OF THEIR FAMILIES |
THAT ARE CURRENTLY STRUGGLING TO MAINTAIN THEIR LIVELIHOODS ON LONG ISLAND |
|
|
THIS IS HOW WE MAKE IT HAPPEN |
DO NOT ASK POLITICIANS FOR ADVICE - THEY ARE ON THE WRONG TEAM |
NEW YORK STATE HAS GOVERNED WITH TYRANNY OVER THE LONG ISLAND TERRITORY AND IT'S PEOPLE FOR DECADES |
THE US CONSTITUTION |
PROVIDES THE PEOPLE WITH THE CONSTITUTIONAL REMEDY |
WHEN THEY ARE GOVERNED WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT BY A TYRANNICAL AND POLITICAL STATE |
WHICH IS THE MAJOR GRIEVANCE & MOST UNFORTUNATE OF CIRCUMSTANCES |
THE PEOPLE OF LONG ISLAND TERRITORY HAVE BEEN ENDURING FOR FAR TOO LONG |
|
|
|
|
|
What does the Declaration of Independence say about the Consent of the Governed? |
That to secure these rights, |
Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their JUST powers from the consent of the governed, |
That whenever Any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, |
" it is the Right of the People " |
to alter or to abolish it, and to institute New Government, |
laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, |
as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. |
THIS IS ALL THE US CONSTITUTIONAL PERMISSION THAT WE NEED |
TO BREAK FROM THE TYRANNICAL GRIP OF NEW YORK STATE AND IT'S ONE PARTY LEADERSHIP |
|
|
|

THE TENNESSEE PLAN |
OK — so the Tennessee Plan, you've probably never heard of it unless you are from Tennessee or Alaska. Apparently, some of those who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution haven't heard of it either. When Tennessee first came to the Union, it had a different name; it was first called "Territory of the United States South of the River Ohio." It was a U.S. territory, just like Puerto Rico is now.
But instead of waiting for Congress to decide if they wanted to make the territory a state, they took a different, bold route: They forced the issue themselves:
• They elected delegates for Congress
• They voted on statehood
• They drafted a state constitution
• And applied for statehood
• Then, when Congress dragged their feet, they went to the Capitol and demanded to be seated
Congress was unsure of how to proceed; this was the first territory going for statehood. They relented and Tennessee became America's 16th state. Alaska did many of the same things.
Again, the Tennessee plan in a nutshell:
• Unsuccessfully petitioning Congress for admission
• Drafting a state constitution without prior congressional intervention
• Holding state elections for state officers, U.S. senators and representatives
• In some cases, sending the entire congressional delegation to Washington to demand statehood and claim their seats
• Finally, Congress has little choice but to admit a new state through the passage of a simple act of admission

THERE IS NO REASON THIS PLAN CANT WORK FOR LONG ISLAND |

The State of Franklin
These new settlers complained that North Carolina was not doing a good job protecting them. North Carolina decided to give their land west of the Appalachians to the Federal Government in New York. They needed to pay off debts from the Revolutionary War. The settlers were excited. They decided to make their own state. The State of Franklin (read more about that here) was the first attempt at making a state on the western side of the mountains. It had a Constitution, a Legislature, and a Governor named John Sevier. But there was a problem. The Federal government really didn’t have a plan to create a new state. Instead, it decided to give the lands back to North Carolina and would not let Franklin become a state. Even though the State of Franklin went on for four years (1785-1788), it never really became a state.

The Southwest Territory & Statehood
After the State of Franklin failed, the land that is Tennessee today became part of a large territory called “The Territory South of the River Ohio.” Later, it was shortened to the Southwest Territory. George Washington put William Blount in charge of the new territory. For the first time there was an official government close to the people it served. With more people moving into the area, they tried to form a state again. This time the federal government had a new Constitution with clear steps on how to become a state. The first step was for a census to be taken. The census showed that they had enough people to form a legislature and write a new state constitution. The state would be called Tennessee. And this time it worked! On June 1, 1796, President George Washington made Tennessee the 16th state to join the United States. Another Constitution was written. John Sevier was picked to be the first governor. They even made Knoxville the first capital city. Even though the Constitution, the Governor, and even the Capital are all different now, the Tennessee that was formed over 200 years ago is the same one we know today. Today, Tennesseans celebrate June 1 as statehood day. Do your part and tell someone about how Tennessee became a state.

This argument has been going on for years, and in 1896 legislation was passed in order to make Long Island it's own state, but no action was ever performed. |
We were so close, and now it's time for Long Island to escape the financial constraints the rest of New York has put on us. |

PUERTO RICO |
WAS GIVEN UN-INCORPORATED TERRITORY STATUS |
IT WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO BECOME A STATE WHEN SPAIN SURRENDERED IT TO THE US |
PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS AND BIG GOVERNMENT RINOS |
ARE BENDING RULES, TWISTING LAWS, AND USING HIGHLY SOPHISTICATED PROPAGANDA |
TO CREATE THEIR OWN LAWS AND AMENDMENTS |
TO MAKE PUERTO RICO THE 51st STATE IN ORDER TO SECURE THE WELFARE VOTE |
THEY ARE NOW TRYING TO USE THE TENNESSEE ACT |
TO CIRCUMVENT THE UNFAVORABLE SUPREME COURT DECISIONS THAT THEY HAVE RECENTLY ENCOUNTERED |
PUERTO RICO WAS NEVER A TERRITORY WITHIN AN EXISTING STATE |
AND WAS DESIGNATED WITH AN UN-INCORPORATED STATUS |
WHICH THE SUPREME COURT HAS RULED SEVERAL TIMES THAT THE LOWER COURTS AND JUDGES |
THAT HAVE TRIED TO CIRCUMVENT CONGRESS BY RULING PUERTO RICO CAN BECOME A STATE |
HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO DO SO |
PUERTO RICO'S PEOPLE ARE NOT TAX PAYING CITIZENS OF THE US |
* THEY DO NOT QUALIFY TO BECOME A STATE * |
THEY ARE THEIR OWN COUNTRY WITH TREATY MAKING RIGHTS |
AS THEY DO NOT POSSESS CONSTITUTIONAL VOTING RIGHTS IN OUR US GOVERNMENT INCLUDING CONGRESS |
LONG ISLAND HAS MET ALL REQUIREMENTS TO BECOME A STATE |
AND IT'S PEOPLE ARE PROTECTED BY THE US CONSTITUTION ALONG WITH THEIR SECURED VOTING RIGHTS |

THE UNICAMERAL LEGISLATURE |
A legislature is unicameral if it consists of only one house. |
MODEL USED BY NEBRASKA (1937) AND UPHELD AND APPROVED BY US SUPREME COURT IN THE 1960'S |
|
Advocates of the unicameral legislature say:
- There is no reason for people to vote for representatives to two separate houses to serve the same purpose. "One man - one vote" has negated the original intent of having each house elected on a different basis.
- The unicameral form simplifies bill passage. The process is more direct. Bills are more readily available for scrutiny by legislators and the public.
- The Conference Committee, and inherent evil necessary for the operation of a bicameral system, is eliminated.
- Lobbyists are less influential in the unicameral legislature because the lawmaking process is more public.
- In a unicameral system, it is easier to achieve cooperation between executive and legislative branches.
- A unicameral system is more economical.
- A unicameral system offers greater responsibility to legislators.
- Legislators are more accountable to the public and their constituency because their position is a matter of public record. They are not able to urge opposite positions within the other house.

SUMMARY OF STATE JUDICIAL BRANCH DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES |
|
The third branch of government is the Judicial branch. The Judiciary is made up of courts -- Supreme, Circuit, the magistrate (local) and municipal (city) courts. The Judicial branch interprets the laws.
The state judges are elected by the citizens rather than being appointed. They also run for their office as members of a political party.
The duties of the judicial branch include:
-
Interpreting state laws;
-
Settling legal disputes;
-
Punishing violators of the law;
-
Hearing civil cases;
-
Protecting individual rights granted by the state constitution;
-
Determing the guilt or innocence of those accused of violating the criminal laws of the state;
-
Acting as a check upon the legislative and executive branches of state government.
The Supreme Court of Appeals is the highest court in Long Island and supervises the lower courts. It is comprised of five judges who are elected for six year terms by the voters. The Supreme Court is required to meet twice a year, in January and in September, and may hold special terms when necessary. The Supreme Court has the authority to determine if state laws and actions of state officials, including the Governor, are constitutional. Laws and executive orders cannot be enforced if they violate the state constitution.
Most cases brought before the Supreme Court are appeals that have been tried in the circuit or magistrate courts. Once a decision has been made by the Supreme Court that is the final decision, with the exception of conflicts between state and federal laws, which may be appealed to the United States Supreme Court.
Of the five Supreme Court justices, one is selected to be the Chief Justice. The selection process is a rotation between the five justices, each who serve as the chief justice for one year. The Chief Justice's duties include submitting a budget to the Legislature, and according to the state constitution, the Supreme Court will be appropriated for whatever amount it requests. The Chief Justice also assigns justices to write opinions and decisions of the Court.
