Administrativní dělení Spojených států amerických
Unijní státy USA jsou členy americké federace, se značnou mírou autonomie. Spojené státy americké tvoří celkem 50 jednotlivých států a federální distrikt Washington, D.C. (District of Columbia). Těchto 51 celků vznikalo různými způsoby.
Pod suverenitu USA patří dále Portoriko, Americké Panenské ostrovy, Guam, Severní Mariany, Americká Samoa a menší odlehlé ostrovy USA.
Původ jednotlivých členských států a federálního distriktu
Samostatnost Spojených států amerických byla vyhlášena v červenci 1776 vzniklými 13 unijními státy na východě současného území USA. V abecedním pořadí to byly tyto státy: Connecticut, Delaware, Georgie, Jižní Karolína, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pensylvánie, Rhode Island, Severní Karolína a Virginie. Před vyhlášením vzniku unie měly status britských kolonií. Následně byl roku 1791 dodatečně na území věnovaném státy Maryland a Virginie vytvořen Federální distrikt, na jehož území bylo vystavěno nové hlavní město USA, Washington, D.C. Unijní stát Vermont vznikl teprve roku 1777, zprvu jako plně nezávislá Vermontská republika na území, o které vedly spory původní kolonie Provincie New York a Provincie New Hampshire. Další členské státy unie vznikaly dodatečně na územích, která USA získaly vojenskou expanzí, koupěmi či dohodami o hranicích se sousedními státy nebo jako kolonie. Až na několik výjimek vznikl každý z těchto nových států postupným přerozdělováním větších, federální vládou spravovaných, teritorií, na teritoria menší, jimž bylo následně uděleno postavení členského státu USA.

Politika
S výjimkou Nebrasky (která má jednokomorový parlament) mají všechny dvoukomorový parlament, jehož označení se liší stát od státu. Ve 24 státech je označován jako Legislativa (Legislature), zatímco v 19 jako Generální shromáždění (General Assembly), v Massachusetts a New Hampshiru jako Generální dvůr (General Court), zatímco v Severní Dakotě a Oregonu jako Zákonodárné shromáždění (Legislative Assembly). Ten se s výše uvedenou výjimkou skládá ze sněmovny reprezentantů (pro ni se v pěti státech používá označení Shromáždění - Assembly, ve třech pak Sněmovna delegátů - House of Delegates) a senátu. V čele každého státu je guvernér, jenž je zároveň předsedou zdejší vlády. Každý stát má také vlastní ústavu, soudní systém, policii a další orgány. Každý stát také deleguje dva senátory do senátu USA.
Každý stát používá také vlastní vlajku a pečeť. Na rozdíl od většiny členských států jiných federací zde není příliš rozšířeno užívání vlastního znaku, který většinou nahrazuje pečeť. Některé státy však mají i znak. Naopak je zde obvyklé uzákonění dalších neobvyklých symbolů, jako je státní květina, státní zvíře apod.

Seal of Virginia.svg
The state seal of Virginia. Sic semper tyrannis is Latin for Thus always to tyrants. The current design was originally sculpted for the Commonwealth of Virginia by Charles Keck in 1931, in turn based off the 1776 description authored by George Wythe and George Mason. Colors were assigned in 1949 by members of the Art Commission of Virginia.

The circle is surrounded by the words, "Great seal of the state of Kansas. January 29, 1861" - Kansas Legislature on May 25, 1861
