"New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new State shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress."
"The Congress shall have Power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States; and nothing in this Constitution shall be so construed as to Prejudice any Claims of the United States, or of any particular State."
A new state can't be created without the territory's consent, which is why Puerto Rico held a vote on the referendum. If the territory votes in favor of statehood, the next step is to petition Congress for admission into the Union. Typically, a territory sends representatives and two senators to push for statehood.
Leading up the the Missouri Compromise, Pro-slavery and Anti-slavery states were causing a lot of tension between all of the states so the Union adopted Maine to help deal with this and balance out this issue of tension. Along with Maine, Missouri was adopted and signed in as a state to help balance out the southern Pro-slave states.

Answer:
Passage 1 is more effective because passage 2 relies on personal anecdotes as the main evidence.
Explanation:
The first passage makes more effective evidence because while it relies on data and figures, the second portion relies on personal incidents as its main evidence.
The first passage makes very reasonable and logical reasoning about the importance of video games in the life of juveniles and how there has been a reduction in juvenile offenses while there have been in video game sales.
However, the second passage uses personal encounters with her children to make a discussion which is not relevant at all but rather a request to emotion.
