1. > organized unincorporated territory Is basically a nice way of saying it is a Colony. Fact is that it is a Colony. "Unincorporated territory" is a BS term created out of thin air to save the US Government from obvious criticisms. [1] If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. In this case the duck is Colonization. 2. Read 1 above 3. Those "other categories of U.S. citizens" who don't receive the full protection of the Constitution have "opted" for it (for example: members of the military are subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which imposes certain restrictions on their free speech, assembly, and association rights to maintain good order and discipline within the military - however, this is an "opt in" to have individual Rights restricted). They were not "born into it". Residents of Puerto Rico on the other hand are not given the full protection of the Constitution primarily based on where they are born. That is not equality by any means. 4. Exactly. And there was no choice given to Puerto Rico residents if they want to be part of the US or not. Since technically, Puerto Rico was colonized by Spain and then colonized by USA, it hasn't had a referendum asking if people want to remain with US or not. So currently, they are neither here nor there but hanging in between. Neither a "fully incorporated state" of USA, nor a completely free, independent State. Classic characteristic of a Colony.
