Territory land that belongs to the government but is not represented in Congress typically refers to U.S. territories, such as Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands. Residents of these territories are U.S. citizens (in the case of Puerto Rico) or U.S. nationals (like American Samoa) but do not have voting representation in Congress. While they have local governments and can elect delegates to the U.S. House of Representatives, these delegates cannot vote on legislation. This situation raises ongoing debates about representation, rights, and the status of these territories.
