How do we add states? What is the difference between a state and a commonwealth? - a podcast by New Hampshire Public Radio

Today’s listener question is, “What is the difference between a state and a commonwealth? Will Puerto Rico become a state or a commonwealth?” We go through that difference, the reason Puerto Rico might become a state, and how adding states has benefited the parties.

Our guest for today is Robinson Woodward-Burns, a professor of political science at Howard University.
