So then why couldn't all states be admitted unilaterally since ALL states posessed the rights of the ORIGINAL states? They didn't need Congressional approval, did they?

Simple. They acquired those rights AFTER they were admitted, not before.

So once they were admitted through congressional approval, they then had the right to become a state unilaterally without Congressional approval? Am I missing something here?
