Territories of the United States
Territories of the United States
are sub-national
administrative divisions
directly overseen by the
United States federal government
(unlike
U.S. states
, which share
sovereignty
with the federal government). The five major territories are self-governing with locally elected governors and territorial legislatures. Each also elects a non-voting
delegate
(or
resident commissioner
) to the
U.S. House of Representatives
.
