The Political Status of Puerto Rico is a historical book written by Federico Degetau in 1902. The book explores the political status of Puerto Rico, which was then a colony of the United States. Degetau, who was a Puerto Rican politician and lawyer, provides a comprehensive analysis of the island's political situation, including its history, government, and relationship with the United States.Degetau's book is divided into three parts. The first part provides a historical overview of Puerto Rico, from the Spanish colonial period to the American occupation. The second part focuses on the island's government, including its constitution, legislature, and judiciary. The final part of the book examines the relationship between Puerto Rico and the United States, including the legal and political status of the island.Throughout the book, Degetau argues that Puerto Rico should have greater autonomy and self-government. He criticizes the American government's treatment of the island and advocates for Puerto Rican independence or statehood. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the political situation of Puerto Rico at the turn of the 20th century and the early stages of its relationship with the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
