U.S. state constituent political entity of the United States

In the United States, a state is a constituent political entity, of which there are currently 50. Bound together in a political union, each state holds governmental jurisdiction over a separate and defined geographic territory and shares its sovereignty with the federal government. Due to this shared sovereignty, Americans are citizens both of the federal republic and of the state in which they reside. State citizenship and residency are flexible, and no government approval is required to move between states, except for persons restricted by certain types of court orders. Four states use the term commonwealth rather than state in their full official names.

According to the Northwest Waterfall Survey, there is a waterfall about 100 feet (30 m) upstream of the mouth of the Treat River. Its unofficial name is Treat River Falls, the survey says, though that may be a pseudonym for Anna's Falls. [4]
