vladimir:不得将两个或更多的州合并
這點就算只是領地也一樣
並沒有吧,美國憲法第四條原文如下:
New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new States shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or parts of States,
without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress. (維基的參考譯文:新州得由國會接納加入本聯邦;但不得在任何其他州的管轄範圍內組成或建立新州;未經有關州議會和國會的同意,也不得合併兩個或兩個以上的州或幾個州的一部分組成新州。)
這裡的意思是得到國會和所在州議會的同意就可以了,套用在關島就是得到夏州、關島議會和國會同意就可以,不能算是違反憲法,反正本來讓關島加入夏州就要兩地議會同意,關島改變任何法定地位都要國會同意
