1 answer

Puerto Rico has three main options for its future political status:

  1. Statehood: Puerto Rico could become the 51st state of the United States, gaining full representation in Congress and equal rights as a state.

  2. Independence: Puerto Rico could choose to become an independent nation, allowing it to have full sovereignty and self-determination without U.S. governance.

  3. Enhanced Commonwealth: Puerto Rico could seek to maintain its Commonwealth status while negotiating for greater autonomy and federal funding without full statehood.
