It is constructed of 13 stripes and 35 stars. The Congress decided on June 3, 1795 that the United States Flag will "be never changed from the original flag of thirteen stripes and thirteen stars." The reason for this is the immense amount of stars that would eventually have to be added to the flag. Between 1828 to 1863 the official variant of the United States had been the Betsy Ross variant by order of the US Congress. Before this there was no official way that the flag's stars were arranged or the size of the canton was regulated.

Before this there was no official way that the flag's stars were arranged or the size of the canton was regulated. After the adoption of the Postbellum Constitution the United States Congress changed the stars of the flag to represent the number of states that existed when the new Constitution was established. It has not changed since though it has several variants.
