Dotyczy stanu Massachusetts.
Przeczytałam poniższy wpis:

ale jednak w tym przypadku powstaje sekretarz stanu, co jest mylące.
Co radzicie? Sekretarz Stanu Massachusetts, czy jednak inaczej? :)
Z góry dziękuję!

Sekretarz Wspólnoty Massachusetts
Explanation:
Commonwealth is a symbolic reference to the government for "common good." Using Wspólnota respects the historicity of that name. Functionally, Sekretarz Stanu Massachusetts would also point unmistakably to the position and the state.

cccccccccccccc

A traditional English term for a political community founded for the common good, it is used symbolically to emphasize that these states have a "government based on the common consent of the people"[8] as opposed to one legitimated through their earlier colonial status that was derived from the British crown. It refers to the common "weal", or welfare, of the public[9] and is derived from a loose translation of the Latin term res publica (cf. the 17th-century Commonwealth of England).

  -> Yes, both titles would point to the right office. Wspólnota, I was arguing, would be a more official-sounding name that harks back to the historical origin of the founding of the state.. Thank you, Michał.
