Read the following article from Time magazine about statehood issues in Colorado.
http://nation.time.com/2013/08/22/red-state-blue-state-old-state-new-state-northern-colorado-tries-to-secede/
Write a one paragraph summary of the article and answer the following questions.
1. What does Article 4 say to prevent these citizens from forming their own state?
2. Who would they have to get approval from to do so?
3. Why do you think those in the Senate would want to prevent a new state from joining the union?
4. Why do these secessionist groups usually want to break away?
5. Congress is made up of members of political parties. Why do you think they want to keep new Congressmen from becoming a part of the legislature?
