Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex relationship between the United States and its insular possessions, examining the various theories and principles that have informed this relationship since the late 18th century. The author delves into the philosophical underpinnings of the American Revolution, arguing that the Declaration of Independence's assertion of human equality implied a universal right of free statehood for all communities, a radical departure from 18th-century European thought. This work considers the various ways the US has sought to balance the desire for self-governance in its insular territories with its own perceived responsibilities towards them. This book is a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate over the nature of America's relationship with its territories. It offers a fresh perspective on a subject that has been much discussed but seldom deeply examined.
