Downes v. Bidwell (1901) created a difference between 'incorporated territory' and 'unincorporated territory'
The Second Organic Act of 1912 explicitly extends the constitution (and the 14th amendment) to the Alaksa territory. Supreme court cases have established that the 14th amendment doesn't apply to unincorporated territories.
