Acknowledging that the United States Supreme Court's decisions in the Insular Cases and the "territorial incorporation doctrine" are contrary to the text and history of the United States Constitution, rest on racial views and stereotypes from the era of Plessy v. Ferguson that have long been rejected, are contrary to our Nation's most basic constitutional and democratic principles, and should be rejected as having no place in United States constitutional law.

This resolution rejects the Supreme Court's decisions in the Insular Cases (a series of cases regarding the application of constitutional rights in U.S. territories) and recognizes that constitutional and democratic principles apply throughout the states and territories of the United States.

Bill 118 H.Res. 314 is a resolution that acknowledges the United States Supreme Court's decisions in the Insular Cases and the "territorial incorporation doctrine" as being contrary to the text and history of the United States Constitution. The resolution argues that these decisions are based on racial views and stereotypes from the era of Plessy v. Ferguson, which have since been rejected. It also states that these decisions go against the nation's most basic constitutional and democratic principles and should be rejected as having no place in United States constitutional law. The resolution aims to bring attention to the problematic nature of these decisions and advocate for their rejection in order to uphold the principles of equality and justice in the United States.
