They were a series of cases heard by the Supreme Court from 1901-1904, dealing with how the Constitution and the Bill of Rights should be applied to overseas territories acquired as a result of war or purchase. This was a period when the nation was determined to follow a course of Imperialism and become a world power. The idea of obtaining an overseas "empire" seemed to appeal to the populace as evident in the Election of 1900. The Insular Cases took the political arguments of pro and con groups and sided with the pro, echoing the popular feeling at that time. Wikipedia has an article dealing with these cases.
