Explanation:

South Carolina is a state located in the southeastern United States. It is limited to North Carolina to the north, Georgia to the southeast, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east.

Together with North Carolina, South Carolina was part of the British colony "Carolina", named after King Charles II of England. However, in 1712 the colonies separated. Important battles took place in this region during the period of the American Revolution in 1776. After independence from the United States, South Carolina was elevated to the status of state on May 23, 1788, becoming the eighth American state. A while later the first constitution of South Carolina was established, where a bicameral legislature was established with the lower house elected by the people and the upper house elected by the lower house.
