Puerto Rica is located in the northeast Carrabin Sea and is an incorporated territory of the United States of America. It is governed by the US government with full jurisdiction. Its citizens are born as natural citizens of America but cannot vote in the election for president or senate members. The reason for it dates back to 1989 when a Spanish ambassador Enrique Dupuy de Lome wrote a letter to the Spanish foreign minister about the incompetence of US president. This letter was intercepted by Cuban rebels who were fighting the Spanish for almost three years. At the same time, an American battleship was anchored in Havana to protect US nationals in the ongoing war of independence. This battleship was destroyed by an explosion, and the blame was put on the Spanish. The US had inspirations to become a world power, and to do so, they needed strategic locations, and one such location was Puerto Rico. The US ordered the Spanish to leave Cuba, and their response Spain refused and cut all ties with America by deporting their diplomats from Madrid. The two nations got their self into war, but just in three months Spain sued for peace, and the war formally ended with the treaty of Paris. Cuba became independent while Puerto Rico was ceded to the United States. Later in a court hearing, this was stated that these states would be belonging to America but not a part of it.
Puerto Rica is a State large enough to be represented as an independent country. The people of Puerto Rica should be given a choice to decide whether they want to become part of America or be an independent state. They should be given the right to choose their political leader and political system for themselves. In my opinion, they should become a state of the United States as they have waited long enough and now it's the time to give them the right be a part of the largest economy in the world and gain some economic and social benefits from it.
