Reply to comment by ScrappleOnToast in For those who die on the hill that “PA is a commonwealth, not a state”, I’m curious….how many states do you think there are in the USA? 50? 46? by ScrappleOnToast

The United States is comprised of 50 states. 4 of those states (PA, VA, MA and KY) call themselves commonwealths, but there is no legal or functional distinction between a commonwealth and a state. 46 of those states call themselves states.

This is a pretty simple and straight forward answer.
