Description:
This program will include an overview of the political status of U.S. Territories, including the implications of the
Insular Cases
and the territorial “incorporation doctrine” in shaping the inequitable political and economic conditions that exist there. It will explain recent Supreme Court Cases declining to overturn the
Insular Cases
or to confront the arbitrary and unequal treatment of the residents of the U.S. Territories. The program will then turn to Congress’ critical role in addressing the plight of the residents of the U.S. Territories and the political process impeding congressional action.
