Kentucky, Virginia, and Rhode Island (I think RI is the third)
So the answer could be 47 depending on how you chose to answer it.

Uh.... I was pretty sure that there were four commonwealths that are part of the U.S. and that they are Penssylvania, Massachussetts, Kentuky, and Virginia.
Additionally, there are two other commonwealths associated with the United States (in the form of unincorporated territories): Puerto Rico and the Northern Marianas.
