The U.S. Commonwealth states are Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. These territories have a unique political status, enjoying varying degrees of self-governance while still being subject to U.S. federal law. Each commonwealth has its own local government and constitution, but residents are U.S. citizens, albeit with some limitations on voting rights and federal representation.
