The United States did not make Puerto Rico a protectorate. Instead, it governed Puerto Rico as a territory, as it did the Philippines. The Foraker Act of 1900 established that the U.S. would appoint Puerto Rico's governor and the upper house of its legislature. Puerto Rican voters would elect the lower house.
