Context
The United States acquired most of its current territories after the Spanish-American War in 1898 (Puerto Rico, Guam) and through subsequent purchases or treaties. Territories have their own local governments but remain under ultimate federal authority. Unlike states, territories can theoretically be given independence or have their status changed by Congress without amending the Constitution.
