States are the primary subdivisions of the United States, and possess a number of powers and rights under the United States Constitution, such as regulating intrastate commerce, running elections, creating local governments, and ratifying constitutional amendments. Each state has its own constitution, grounded in republican principles, and government, consisting of three branches: executive, legislative, and judicial. All states and their residents are represented in the federal Congress, a bicameral legislature consisting of the Senate and the House of Representatives. Each state is represented by two Senators, while Representatives are distributed among the states in proportion to the most recent constitutionally mandated decennial census. Additionally, each state is entitled to select a number of electors to vote in the Electoral College, the body that elects the President of the United States, equal to the total of Representatives and Senators in Congress from that state.Article IV, Section 3, Clause 1 of the Constitution grants to Congress the authority to admit new states into the Union. Since the establishment of the United States in 1776, the number of states has expanded from the original 13 to 50. Each new state has been admitted on an equal footing with the existing states.
Many languages are used, or historically have been used in the United States. The most commonly used language is English. There are also many languages indigenous to North America or to U.S. states or holdings in the Pacific region. Languages brought to the country by colonists or immigrants from Europe, Asia, or other parts of the world make up a large portion of the languages currently used; several languages, including creoles and sign languages, have also developed in the United States. Approximately 337 languages are spoken or signed by the population, of which 176 are indigenous to the area. Fifty-two languages formerly spoken in the country's territory are now extinct.
The most common language in the United States is known as American English.
However, no official language exists at the federal level. There have been several proposals to make English the national language in amendments to immigration reform bills, but none of these bills have become law with the amendment intact. The situation is quite varied at the state and territorial levels, with some states mirroring the federal policy of adopting no official language in a de jure capacity, others adopting English alone, others officially adopting English as well as local languages, and still others adopting a policy of de facto bilingualism.
Built at a cost of $79.4 million ($724million in today's dollars) the ship is the largest ocean liner constructed entirely in the U.S. and the fastest ocean liner to cross the Atlantic in either direction. Even in her retirement, she retains the Blue Riband, the accolade given to the passenger liner crossing the Atlantic Ocean in regular service with the highest speed.
Her construction was subsidized by the U.S. government, since she was designed to allow conversion to a troopship should the need arise.United States operated uninterrupted in transatlantic passenger service until 1969. Since 1996 she has been docked at Pier 82 on the Delaware River in Philadelphia.
Design and construction
Inspired by the exemplary service of the British liners RMSQueen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, which transported hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops to Europe during World War II, the U.S. government sponsored the construction of a large and fast merchant vessel that would be capable of transporting large numbers of soldiers. Designed by renowned American naval architect and marine engineer William Francis Gibbs (1886–1967), the liner's construction was a joint effort between the United States Navy and United States Lines. The U.S. government underwrote $50 million of the $78 million construction cost, with the ship's operators, United States Lines, contributing the remaining $28 million. In exchange, the ship was designed to be easily converted in times of war to a troopship with a capacity of 15,000 troops, or to a hospital ship .
United States is the first full length hard rock collaborative album between hard rock guitar virtuoso Paul Gilbert and singer Freddie Nelson. The collaboration has been described as a cross between Queen and Mr. Big.
In 1881, after the Confederacy purchased the Mexican states of Chihuahua and Sonora, President James G. Blaine of the United States declared war. With the help of British and French forces, the Confederate States again defeat the United States in the Second Mexican War, forcing the latter to cede a portion of northern Maine to the Canadian province of New Brunswick. After this defeat, the United States turned to Germany for military assistance and training, and the national mood of the U.S. changed to desire of revenge against the enemies that surrounded the U.S.—Canada, from where Britain invaded the U.S., and the Confederacy.
What Is The Official Language Of The United States?
What is the official language of the United States? The short answer: there isn't one. But there have been many attempts to change that. In this episode of Babbel Explains, we take you through American history and look at the ongoing battle between those who want to make English the official language of the U.S. and those who prefer to keep the country a melting pot of languages and cultures.

Top 10 Most Commonly Spoken Languages in the US. After English and Spanish.
One of the most common questions I get from viewers outside the United States is where can they live if they are from whatever country they are from. My first answer is, “Wherever you want.” That is the truth. 90% of the US residents will greet you with open arms or they just don’t care where you are from.
But, what they are really getting at is where would be the best fit.
There are a lot of ways to approach this subject. You could look at hate crime states but that’s just depressing and negative.
What I settles on is what I found in the US census. This probably isn’t the most scientific way to come at this but it is interesting.

If there are more people speaking your language here, chances are others before you have found it to be welcoming. Obviously English and Spanish will be #1 and #2 in almost every state so we are looking at the top 10 after those and what states is it spoken more than any other after Eng and Spanish?

Many languages are used, or historically have been used in the United States. The most commonly used language is English. There are also many languages indigenous to North America or to U.S. states or holdings in the Pacific region. Languages brought to the country by colonists or immigrants from Europe, Asia, or other parts of the world make up a large portion of the languages currently used; several languages, including creoles and sign languages, have also developed in the United States. Approximately 337 languages are spoken or signed by the population, of which 176 are indigenous to the area. Fifty-two languages formerly spoken in the country's territory are now extinct.
The most common language in the United States is known as American English. English is the de facto national language of the United States, with 80% of the population claiming it as a mother tongue, and some 95% claiming to speak it "well" or "very well". However, no official language exists at the federal level. There have been several proposals to make English the national language in amendments to immigration reform bills, but none of these bills has become law with the amendment intact. The situation is quite varied at the state and territorial levels, with some states mirroring the federal policy of adopting no official language in a de jure capacity, others adopting English alone, others officially adopting English as well as local languages, and still others adopting a policy of de facto bilingualism.

In this episode of Babbel Explains, we take you through American history and look at the ongoing battle between those who want to make English the official language of the U.S. and those who prefer to keep the country a melting pot of languages and cultures.

Often heralded as the beacon of the free world, the United States of America is, in fact, a country that has no official language on a federal level. Despite this, it is a very multilingual place. While English dominates, many European languages like Spanish and French and many Native American languages.
Throw in immigrant languages and a Polynesian language, and the United States is a linguist's dream!

Top 10 Most Commonly Spoken Languages in the US. After English and Spanish.
One of the most common questions I get from viewers outside the United States is where can they live if they are from whatever country they are from. My first answer is, “Wherever you want.” That is the truth. 90% of the US residents will greet you with open arms or they just don’t care where you are from.
But, what they are really getting at is where would be the best fit.
There are a lot of ways to approach this subject. You could look at hate crime states but that’s just depressing and negative.
What I settles on is what I found in the US census. This probably isn’t the most scientific way to come at this but it is interesting.
What state is your language spoken the most?
If there are more people speaking your language here, chances are others before you have found it to be welcoming. Obviously English and Spanish will be #1 and #2 in almost every state so we are looking at the top 10 after those and what states is it spoken more than any other after Eng and Spanish?

Top 20 Most Spoken Languages In United States (Spoken At Home)
In this video you can see Top 20 most spoken languages in the United States spoken at home. Data were taken from the U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey.
Many languages are used, or historically have been used in the United States. The most commonly used language is English. There are also many languages indigenous to North America or to U.S. states or holdings in the Pacific region. Languages brought to the country by colonists or immigrants from Europe, Asia, or other parts of the world make up a large portion of the languages currently used; several languages, including creoles and sign languages, have also developed in the United States. Approximately 337 languages are spoken or signed by the population, of which 176 are indigenous to the area. Fifty-two languages formerly spoken in the country's territory are now extinct.
The most common language in the United States is known as American English. English is the de facto national language of the United States, with 80% of the population claiming it as a mother tongue, and some 95% claiming to speak it "well" or "very well". However, no official language exists at the federal level. There have been several proposals to make English the national language in amendments to immigration reform bills, but none of these bills has become law with the amendment intact. The situation is quite varied at the state and territorial levels, with some states mirroring the federal policy of adopting no official language in a de jure capacity, others adopting English alone, others officially adopting English as well as local languages, and still others adopting a policy of de facto bilingualism.
