Puerto Rico has a republican form of government and is quite similar to the model used by most of the 50 US States including a bicameral Legislature, an Independent Judiciary and a strong Executive. Because it is a territory it is represented in the US Congress by a single Resident Commissioner who is elected for a four year term as a nonvoting delegate in the US House of Representatives.
