A territory is an administrative division, usually an area that is under the jurisdiction of a state. In most countries, a territory is an organized division of an area that is controlled by a country but is not formally developed into, or incorporated into, a political unit of the country that is of equal status to other political units that may often be referred to by words such as provinces or states.
A state is a country. After the revolution the States were individual countries until they signed the Constitution. For new states to be added, they have to become a territory and then ratify the Constitution. A territory is a country that the United States has promised to protect. They are part of the US, but they are not subject to the rule of the US, and therefore cannot vote for anything in the US. They have their own government and rules. You also don't need a passport to go to them.
