Question: 1 / 400

Which of the following is one of the 13 original states?

Florida

Illinois

Massachusetts

Massachusetts is one of the 13 original states that ratified the Constitution of the United States in the late 18th century. These states were among the first to establish governance under the Constitution, providing a foundation for U.S. law and democracy. Massachusetts played a significant role in early American history, including being a center of the Revolutionary War and a birthplace of key figures like John Adams and Samuel Adams.

The other states listed—Florida, Illinois, and California—were not part of the original 13 colonies. Florida was initially Spanish territory and gained statehood much later, Illinois became a state in the 19th century, and California was also admitted much later following the Gold Rush. This distinction highlights Massachusetts' historical significance in the formation of the United States.
