NOTE—Guam is an unincorporated, organized territory of the United States. It is “unincorporated” because not all provisions of the U.S. Constitution apply to the territory. Guam is an “organized” territory because Congress provided the territory with an organic act, under which the Secretary of the Interior has administrative responsibility for the territory. The organic act provides for a republican form of government with locally elected executive and legislative branches and an appointed judicial branch. The judicial system includes a territorial supreme court and a U.S. district court.
