Is it true that federal territories such as Puerto Rico Guam and virgin islands do not have to obey congress?

Federal territories like Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands are subject to U.S. federal law, but they do not have the same voting representation in Congress as states. Residents of these territories are U.S. citizens (with the exception of American Samoa, where they are U.S. nationals), and while Congress has authority over them, the territories have some degree of self-governance. However, Congress can legislate on matters affecting these territories without their direct input, which can lead to the perception that they do not fully "obey" Congress in the same way states do.
