The decision to colonize the islands, prizes from the Spanish-American War, sparked a wide-ranging debate over the future of the US as a colonial power. In this Ph.D thesis (U. of Chicago, 1987), Thomas (president, U. of Central Arkansas), with a background in legal studies, examines the ways in which Americans imposed their constitutional and legal systems upon the islands while they explained and justified their exercise of sovereignty in those same terms.
