Explanation:

-The Jones Act, approved by the 64th Congress of the United States on August 29, 1916, contained the first formal and official statement by the United States that the Philippines would be granted independence. The law stated that independence would be granted as soon as "a stable government was established," which gave the United States government the power to decide when that "stable government" would be installed. The law sought to give the Philippines greater domestic autonomy, although a certain number of privileges were granted to the United States to preserve their sovereign rights and interests.
