Is Puerto Rico part of the US?
Answer:
it's a territory, not a state.
No, it's not a state. But it is a part of the United States, nonetheless.
not a state - but a territory. It's not part of the 50 - I don't really know how that plays out.
NO
Only because they do not want to be and have voted it down
No. It is owned by the United States, but it has it's own government.
It is a part of the United States but its not a state in the Union. Its citizens are U.S. citizens and can come and go to the U.S. as they choose. Its like the U.S. Virgin Islands, annexed.
It's a Us terroritory, but is not part of the 50 states.
Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States. External affairs such as military matters, interstate trade, maritime laws, media, etc. are controlled by the US government, but internal affairs are mostly controlled by the Puerto Rican governor and its congress.

It was a way back in the 50's and 60's to finacially help puerto rico more clearly. I will have to break back into my highschool civics but I can give you details tomarrow
Baisically we have political power but we do not GOVERN them.

I don't know whether you should be ashamed of yourself for having to ask this question -- OR -- if you should be commended for actually asking it.
Puerto Rico is a Territory - not a State. They have been offered the opportunity to vote for Statehood, and always turn it down. I think that makes them pretty smart on the whole. We're responsible for them - yet they have fewer responsibiities.
So - GOOD FOR YOU - for asking a reasonable question even if it makes you look a little dopey in some quarters.
You'll never know if you don't ask!
Have a great day!
no hun its a territory not a State
Puerto Rico is a US territory, but is not a state.
It's a territory, just like American Samoa. It's not a state.
BTW, that's how Hawaii and Alaska started out, as territories.
it's funny when you first read the question, but after hearing what's it's like there in Puerto Rico.... it's sometimes does not seem like it's apart of the US.... but yes it is.... they may be treated sometimes as if they are not.... but they are a territory, not a state!
A territory of the United States
