The Foraker Act
The Foraker Act
The Foraker Act (officially known as the Organic Act of 1900) was a significant piece of legislation passed by the United States Congress that established a civil government for Puerto Rico after it became a U.S. territory following the Spanish-American War in 1898.
Since the Foraker Act was passed in 1900, Puerto Rico's government has undergone significant changes. The Foraker Act established a civilian government and limited self-governance, with a U.S.-appointed governor and a partly elected legislature. In 1952, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico was established, granting the island greater autonomy and allowing for a locally elected governor and legislative body. However, Puerto Rico's political status remains a topic of debate, with ongoing discussions about its relationship with the United States and potential statehood.

The 1900 Buganda Agreement was signed on behalf of Britain by Sir Harry Johnston, who was the British commissioner in Uganda at the time.
