Liste der Bundesstaaten der Vereinigten Staaten
Die Liste der Bundesstaaten der Vereinigten Staaten bietet einen Überblick über den aktuellen Stand der Bundesstaaten in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika. Seit der Unabhängigkeitserklärung 1776 hat sich das Staatsgebiet kontinuierlich nach Süden und Westen hin erweitert. Durch Besiedlung, Ankauf oder Besetzung sind neue Gebiete hinzugewonnen worden, die, meist nach einem gewissen zeitlichen Abstand, in Bundesstaaten gegliedert wurden. Zurzeit bestehen die Vereinigten Staaten aus 50 solcher Bundesstaaten. Der jüngste ist Hawaii, welches 1959 diesen Status erhielt. Hawaii ist zugleich der einzige Bundesstaat, der nicht auf dem nordamerikanischen Festland liegt. Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania und Virginia tragen offiziell die Bezeichnung Commonwealth, sind den übrigen Bundesstaaten jedoch rechtlich gleichgestellt. Daneben bestehen weitere Territorien wie der District of Columbia oder die Außengebiete der Vereinigten Staaten, die nicht den Status eines Bundesstaates innehaben.
27 Bundesstaaten werden von einem Gouverneur oder einer Gouverneurin der Republikanischen Partei (R) geführt, 23 Bundesstaaten von einem Gouverneur oder einer Gouverneurin der Demokratischen Partei (D).
