Downes v. Bidwell 182 U.S. 244 (1901) was a case in which the United States Supreme Court decided whether United States territories were subject to the provisions and protections of the United States Constitution. This question is sometimes stated as does the Constitution follow the flag?. The resulting decision narrowly held that the U.S. Constitution did not necessarily apply to territories.
