Answers
Puerto Ricans are US citizens.
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
In 1994, Juan Mari Bras, lawyer and Nationalist leader in Puerto Rico, renounced his United States citizenship at the U.S. Embassy in Venezuela. The U.S. State Department confirmed his denaturalization within a year, but a more complicated issue remained. Throughout the twentieth century and until Mari Bras became the first true citizen of his island nation in 1997, there was legally no such thing as a "Puerto Rican citizen."
Answer:
'Puerto Rico' has its own currency is a false statement.
Explanation:
Puerto Rico is an American territory. Puerto Ricans born on after 25 April 1898 are entitled to US citizenship under the Jones Act. Puerto Ricans, like other US territories, have no voting representation in the US Congress and they are not permitted to cast votes for Presidential election as well.
Puerto Ricans are however independant to move any place in the US because of their US citizenship. The Puerto Ricans does not have own currency because they use the US dollar as their currency.
