Answer:

A territory generally has a territorial governor appointed by the Federal government. They usually do not have any elected body of representatives. In addition they have no representation in Congress. Most territories have too few people to require any state or federal representation.

Step-by-step explanation:

A state is a constituent political entity of the United States. There are currently 50 states, which are bound together in a union with each other.
