List of U.S. state partition proposals : ウィキペディア英語版 | List of U.S. state partition proposals
Article Four of the United States Constitution provides for the creation of new states in the Union, requiring that any such creation be approved by the legislature of the affected state(s), and by the United States Congress.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=CRS Annotated Constitution - Article IV - Section 3 )〕 Since the adoption of the U.S. Constitution, four states have been created from parts of an existing state: Maine (from Massachusetts), West Virginia (from Virginia), Kentucky (also from Virginia), and Vermont (from a disputed territory between New York and New Hampshire). Vermont had operated as a more-or-less independent republic for fourteen years prior to statehood at 1791. West Virginia seceded from Virginia during the American Civil War when the latter had joined the Confederacy. Since the creation of West Virginia in 1863, there have been no partitions of existing states into new states. There have been many proposals to partition existing states so that regions could secede from one state to join another state, or to create a new state. Partitions and secessions were also proposed during the American Civil War so that regions could declare loyalties to the Union or the Confederacy. Proposals to secede from the Union or to create states from territories are not listed. ==Arizona==
* In February 2011, Tucson politicians and activists formed the group "Start our State," to advocate secession for Pima County and other southern counties to create a state called "Baja Arizona". The group wanted the Pima County Board of Supervisors to put the issue on the 2012 ballot, but it was rejected by the Board due to lack of authority, so the group circulated petitions. Interest in secession grew when Republican Governor Jan Brewer and her allies enacted Arizona SB 1070, regarding illegal immigration. Furthermore, the state had passed laws affecting Tucson elections and how the city bids for public works projects. A historical justification was found in that the northern part of Arizona was ceded to the United States in 1848, but that the southern part of Arizona, south of the Gila River, was acquired by the United States in 1854 with the Gadsden Purchase.
