Answer:

congress

Step-by-step explanation:

The power is to admit “new States into this Union.” “This Union” was and is a union of States, equal in power, dignity and authority. To maintain otherwise would be to say that the Union, through the power of (CONGRESS) to admit new States, might come to be a union of States unequal in power
