The Jones Act, also known as the Jones Law, the Philippine Autonomy Act and the Act of Congress of August 29, 1916, was passed by the United States Congress. It acted as a constitution of the Philippines and created the first fully elected Philippine legislature.
The Philippine Government Act set up the government in the Philippines to mirror that of the US. The Philippines would be able to elect their legislature, however the governor would be appointed by the US congress. The Jones act of 1916 extended the Philippine Government Act by allowing the people of the Philippines the right to vote for all bodies of government.
The next organic act after the Jones Law (the Jones Act of 1916) was the Tydings-McDuffie Act of 1934. This act provided for the eventual independence of the Philippines after a ten-year transition period, establishing a Commonwealth government. It also aimed to prepare the Philippines for self-governance and included provisions for the protection of Filipino interests.
