An unincorporated territory in American law is an area controlled by the United States government  "where fundamental rights apply as a matter of law, but other constitutional rights are not available". Selected constitutional provisions variously apply depending on Congressional Organic Acts and judicial rulings according to U.S. constitutional practice, local tradition and law. All five modern inhabited territories are organized but unincorporated. There are nine uninhabited US possessions; only Palmyra Atoll among them is incorporated. See Territories of the United States and Unorganized territory.
