Descrizione:

The Jones Act, passed in 1916, granted the people of the Philippines territorial status and promised eventual independence, which was a significant shift from previous policies following the U.S. acquisition of the Philippines after the Spanish-American War. The act also established a more autonomous government structure, including a bicameral legislature with both houses elected by Filipino citizens, marking a step toward self-governance.
