Additionally, subdivisions within states can also help in the management and allocation of resources, as well as in the distribution of power and decision-making.

The design of the seal often includes symbols and images that are significant to the state's culture, heritage, or industry. Having different seals for each state helps to distinguish and celebrate the individuality of each state within the United States.
