How are minor US territories different from Commonwealths or major territories such as Guam?

History

viva [34]3 years ago

Unlike the States of the Union or a <u>Commonwealth (Union of several sovereign states)</u>, the US territories are considered as sub-national administrative divisions, this means that these territories are without sovereignty and thus they lack representation in Congress and are administered directly by the federal government.

These territories can be classified as incorporated or unincorporated as well as if they have an organized government or not.

It's important to make a note here since the US has 16 territories, <u>5 of which are inhabited and have a government (Guam, American Samoa, US Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, and Puerto Rico)</u> and <u>11 which are islands with no population or government.</u>

1. Limited government is the minimalist concept applied to laws that a country makes: America subscribes to this idea. True O Fa
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Given that the Limited government is a term that describes a form of governance in which there are lesser laws about the rights and constraints of individuals and business

Hence, it is TRUE that Limited government is the minimalist concept applied to laws that a country makes: America subscribes to this idea.

This is evident in the Ninth and Tenth Amendments of the United States of America.

The Ninth Amendment states that "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

Similarly, the Tenth amendment state that "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

Despite the decades of resolve, billions and billions of dollars, nearly 60,000 American lives and many more injuries, the United States failed to achieve its objectives.
