User:Nizolan/Puerto Rico Elective Governor Act
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Puerto Rico Elective Governor Act or Crawford–Butler Act is a United States federal law passed by the 80th United States Congress in 1947 providing for the popular election of the Governor of Puerto Rico and guaranteeing the full range of constitutional rights to U.S. citizens residing in the territory.[5] Though the Act was largely superseded by the Constitution of Puerto Rico in 1952, it was nonetheless a landmark achievement for Puerto Rican self-government, and its guarantee of Puerto Rican constitutional rights remains in force to the present.
