What is a American territory?
Territories, like Guam, the Virgin Islands, and Wake Islands, have laws enacted by the Congress (Articles I and IV of the Constitution) and can also enact laws as long as they abide by the laws enacted by Congress. The federal government has more direct control over territories than it does over states. There is a process noted in the Constitution that provides for territories to be admitted as states, with all the powers and rights as the original 13 states. Citizens of territories are US citizens. Citizenship was first defined in the Constitution via Amendment 14. A Territory is a portion of the national domain that is given limited self-government, usually in preparation for statehood. Territorial governments have been similar in form to those of the states, but have been subject to greater authority of the federal government. Territories can make their own laws but the US Congress also makes laws and determines the legality of laws made.
