The Jones–Shafroth Act (Pub.L. 64–368, 39 Stat. 951, enacted March 2, 1917) —also known as the Jones Act of Puerto Rico, Jones Law of Puerto Rico, or as the Puerto Rican Federal Relations Act of 1917— was an Act of the United States Congress, signed by President Woodrow Wilson on March 2, 1917. The act superseded the Foraker Act and granted U.S. citizenship to anyone born in Puerto Rico on or after April 11, 1899. It also created the Senate of Puerto Rico, established a bill of rights, and authorized the election of a Resident Commissioner (previously appointed by the President) to a four-year term. The act also exempted Puerto Rican bonds from federal, state, and local taxes regardless of where the bondholder resides.

  • La ley Jones-Shafroth fue firmada por el entonces presidente de los Estados Unidos Woodrow Wilson, el 2 de marzo de 1917. Esta impuso la ciudadanía estadounidense a los puertorriqueños. Dicha ley fue firmada en un contexto de 1ª Guerra Mundial y fue aprovechada por los Estados Unidos para llamar a los puertorriqueños a las filas del ejército. La ley Jones separó las ramas ejecutivas, judiciales, y legislativas del gobierno de Puerto Rico, concediéndoles derechos civiles a sus individuos, y creando una legislatura bicameral localmente elegida. Las dos cámaras eran de un senado que constaba de 11 miembros y una cámara de representantes con 35 miembros. Sin embargo, el gobernador y el presidente de los EE. UU. tenían el poder de vetar cualquier ley aprobada por la legislatura. También, el Congreso de los Estados Unidos tiene el poder de detener cualquier acción tomada por la legislatura en Puerto Rico. Los EE. UU. mantienen control sobre asuntos fiscales, servicios de correo, inmigración, defensa y otros asuntos gubernamentales básicos. (es)
