Carlisle Says Constitution Extends Over Porto Rico and Philippines
John G. Carlisle of New York, ex-treasury secretary, told the American Bar Association that the Constitution extends over newly acquired territories. He argued power to govern comes from the same source as war and treaty rights, and that Porto Rico and the Philippines cannot be domestic for one purpose and foreign for another. He cited Supreme Court decisions and noted territorial governance remains military until civil rule replaces it.
