who lets new states become part of the us?
congress
the constitutive theory of statehood defines a state as a person of international law if, and only if, it is recognised as sovereign by at least one other state. this theory of recognition was developed in the 19th century. under it, a state was sovereign if another sovereign state recognised it as such. because of this, new states could not immediately become part of the international community or be bound by international law, and recognised nations did not have to respect international law in their dealings with them. in 1815, at the congress of vienna the final act recognised only 39 sovereign states in the european diplomatic system, and as a result it was firmly established that in the future new states would have to be recognised by other states, and that meant in practice recognition by one or more of the great powers.
