Banderas nacionales
Progresión histórica de los diseños
Desde 1818, se ha añadido a la bandera una estrella por cada nuevo estado el 4 de julio del año inmediatamente posterior a la admisión de cada estado. En los años en los que se han admitido varios estados, se ha añadido a la bandera la cantidad correspondiente de estrellas. Este cambio ha sido, por lo general, el único cambio realizado con cada revisión de la bandera desde 1777, con la excepción de los cambios de 1795 y 1818, que aumentaron el número de franjas a 15 y luego lo devolvieron a 13, respectivamente. Como el patrón exacto de estrellas no se especificó antes de 1912, muchas de las banderas nacionales históricas de los EE. UU. (que se muestran a continuación) han tenido diferentes disposiciones de las estrellas. [1]

Many agencies, departments, and offices of the U.S. federal government have their own flags, guidons, or standards. Following traditional American vexillology, these usually consist of the agency's departmental seal on a blank opaque background, but not always.
The flags of the U.S. states, territories, and federal district exhibit a variety of regional influences and local histories, as well as different styles and design principles. Nonetheless, the majority of the states' flags share the same design pattern consisting of the state seal superimposed on a monochrome background, commonly every different shade of blue, which remains a source of criticism from vexillologists.
The most recent current state flag is that of Minnesota (May 11, 2024), while the most recent current territorial flag is that of the Northern Mariana Islands (July 1, 1985).
History
Modern U.S. state flags date from the 1890s, when states wanted to have distinctive symbols at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois. Most U.S. state flags were designed and adopted between 1893 and World War I.[3]
According to a 2001 survey by the North American Vexillological Association, New Mexico has the best-designed flag of any U.S. state, U.S. territory, or Canadian province, while Georgia's state flag was rated the worst design.[4] (Georgia adopted a new flag in 2003; Nebraska's state flag, whose design was rated second worst, remains in use to date.)
Current state flags
Dates in parentheses denote when the current flag was adopted by the state's legislature.
Since 1777, the national ensign of the United States has also simultaneously served as its national flag. The current version is shown below; for previous versions, please see the section Historical progression of designs above.
While the countries mentioned are recognized independent nations with United Nations seats, the United States maintains and exercises jurisdictional control over the countries in defense, security, and funding grants.
