Torruella, Juan R.
- Abstract
The article discusses the constitutional validity of the U.S.-Puerto Rico colonial relationship as sanctioned by the U.S. Supreme Court in the Insular Cases, focusing on America's colonial regime and the apparent exploitation of the territories that America acquired from Spain following the Spanish-American War of 1898. Racial bias in America and the U.S. Constitution are mentioned, along with legal cases dealing with topics such as a duty on goods imported from Puerto Rico.
