Definition

  • Taken over by the United States through the Treaty of Paris that ended the Spanish-American War in 1898, Puerto Rico is officially a Commonwealth of the United States. Nevertheless, this status has been hotly debated for more than 100 years by residents of the island who regularly go to the polls to vote for candidates advocating for independence, the status quo, or U.S. statehood.
