Best Answer

The easy answer is NO. The reason for that answer is that it is a federal territory. There can be no colonies any more. The Constitution of the United States grants all powers to the States and only the powers given from the States is to be held by the federal government. In this regard any non-State land under the Constituion of the United States is to be considered federal territory, and as such is under the laws of the U.S. Constitution. Each State is under the laws of their own Constitution.
