Jones Law (Philippines)
The Jones Law, or Philippine Autonomy Act, was a United States law of 1916 that replaced the Philippine Commission with an elected Philippine Senate, creating an all-Filipino legislature. Its preamble stated that the United States would grant independence once a stable government was established. It served as the islands' basic law until the Tydings-McDuffie Act set up the Commonwealth in 1935.
