Puerto Rico was a colony of Spain from 1493-1898. In 1898 the Puerto Rico was ceded to the US. Puerto Rico is technically still a colony. Its current status is "Free Associated Commonwealth of the United States" administered under the territorial clause in the Constitution of the United States. "The Congress shall have power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States; and nothing in this Constitution shall be so construed as to Prejudice any Claims of the United States, or of any particular State." In other words, the US Congress has ultimate say-so in what happens in Puerto Rico. Any status Puerto Rico enjoys is because Congress passes a law. Puerto Rico does not have a voting representative in the US Congress.
