Because getting congress to change a law after a new state is added gets a little annoying.

how often are you adding new states?

[–] paciencia@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

alaska and hawaii were added in 1959. From 1787 to 1959, a new state was added to the union every 3.44 years. So it used to happen pretty often, actually.
