The Supreme Court denied constitutional protections to Guam’s people.

Evidence

Guam was now a U.S. colony, and the Navy designated the entire island a U.S. naval station. Technically, at that point, the whole island really was one large military base. Naval officers served as governors and generally ran Guam like a ship. Signs appeared saying ENGLISH ONLY WILL BE SPOKEN HERE. In a series of cases, the Supreme Court ruled that Guam’s people (as well as Puerto Ricans and Filipinos) were entitled to neither U.S. citizenship nor the full protection of the Constitution. — David Vine, Base Nation_ How U.S. Military Bases…, 237
