The year 1917 is important to Puerto Rico because that is the year the Jones-Shaford Act passed the US congress and was signed into law by the President. This act granted US citizenship to all Puerto Ricans. It created the Senate of Puerto Rico and established a Bill of Rights for Puerto Rico. It also authorized the popular election of a Resident Commissioner, a post previously appointed by the President of the US.
