A U.S. territory must first petition Congress for statehood, which can be a complicated and lengthy process. The territory must also draft and ratify a state constitution, as well as gain approval from the majority of Congress and the president before being granted statehood. Many consider this process difficult due to the level of scrutiny and political negotiations involved, as well as the potential for opposition from existing states.
