The Foraker Act granted only partial, rather than full citizenship to Puerto Ricans. It left the legal status of the island nebulous.

People who live in United States territories do not have the same rights as those citizens in the mainland. An example of this would be Puerto Rico, where everyone born there is a citizen of the U. S. but one can't vote for the President nor have real representation in Congress. The only representation that Puerto Ricans have is the Resident Commissione who those not have voice nor vote in Congress.
