After the Spanish-American War the exact status of Territories as compared with the Na- tional Government and the rights and duties of the National Government with regard to Terri- tories again came into controversy. In IflOl, however, in the Insular Cases, the United States Supreme Court decided that Congress may freely determine when new Territories are to be in- corporated into the Union, can create such forms of government as it sees fit for all regions out- side the limits of the States, and can legislate differently for dili'erent parts of the national do- main.
