unincorporated
Unincorporated generally describes an entity or organization that has not been formally established as a legal corporation . This term can also refer to something not mixed or combined with another entity.
In constitutional law , an unincorporated amendment to the U.S. Constitution applies solely to the federal government and does not restrict state governments . Such amendments are not considered incorporated because their language and intent have not been recognized as integrated into the provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment .
