How are U.S. territories governed?

Asked by LostInParadise (31915points) April 9th, 2020

I am talking about places like Puerto Rico, American Samoa and the Virgin Islands. They are citizens of the U.S., but what does that mean? They voted in the Democratic primary. Do they vote in the presidential election? Are they subject to federal laws? Do they pay income taxes? Do they vote for the equivalent of a governor, or is someone appointed?
